PICTURES: Offaly school marks 60th anniversary with celebration concert

The commemorative event featured songs from the sixties in honour of the school’s milestone

Ballinamere National School marked their 60th anniversary with a special celebration concert on Thursday, June 11.

The concert was presented by children from the school in recognition of the great service to the community provided by Ballinamere National School over the last 60 years.

It proved to be a fitting tribute with the concert featuring songs from the sixties, the decade in which the first Ballinamere school was built.

The event was enjoyed by a huge attendance including many past pupils, parents and former staff members.

Many past pupils from the school who were present on that day at Easter time 1966 when the school opened reunited at the club house for the prize giving ceremony and monster raffle that evening.
