Past pupils invited as Killurney National School celebrates 60 years with a 1960s celebration
The south Tipperary school are celebrating 60 years since its current building was constructed in 1966 with a special swingin’ 60s celebration
Killurney National School is celebrating 60 years since its current building was constructed in 1966. Set against the backdrop of Slievenamon, just 15 minutes from Clonmel, the rural two-teacher school has strong ties to the local community.
Many of today’s pupils are following in the footsteps of parents and grandparents who attended either the current school or the old school building, which now serves as the community hall.
Guided by its motto, ‘Small School, Big Agenda’, Killurney NS strives to create an inclusive learning environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.
Pupils will mark the occasion with a 60th birthday party during the school day. In the run-up to the celebrations, they are exploring the history of Killurney N.S. and finding out what school life was like when their parents and grandparents were pupils.
The celebrations will continue with a 1960s-themed night at Nagle’s Pub in Kilsheelan on Friday, 20 November, from 8pm. Past pupils, parents, relatives and friends of the school are warmly invited to don their ’60s attire, share memories and celebrate together.
