There were plenty of smiles and happy faces at Glenmaquin National School on Thursday morning as the pupils and staff returned to their new school building.
A beautiful new Junior room has been built and extensive refurbishment to the old school building has been completed. The school now has a newly renovated the Senior classroom and a new kitchen and staff room to enjoy.
This has been the culmination of a lot of hard work especially in the last year by the school, Board of Management and the local school community. Parents and the local school community gave up their time freely over the Summer holidays to repaint the old building and help to get it ready for back to school.
A school spokesperson said: “We wish the pupils and staff a healthy and happy year ahead in their new surroundings and look forward to an official opening at a later date.”
