Did you know that St. Edward’s School was opened on the Feast of St. Edward – October 13th, in 1851.
Many of our parents went to the school when they were younger, as did their parents. Lots of great stories to be told!
Spring of 1953 - second year infants being read to by an unknown sister. Sorry for the cracking but I think most faces are still clear. Paul Connellan is the one with glasses second in on the second row. Kathleen Shiels (née Emery) on the extreme left with the floppy bow in hair and grey woollen socks and lace-up shoes.

info from Brian Enright I was in the football team for my last two years at the school. I was captain in my last year. We only lost one game in those two years. The goalkeeper was Michael Freeman and I was sat next to him, on his right side (left as you look at the photo). The man at the back left of the photo was the school caretaker, who was also our coach!
info from Brian Enright Hi. I was born in 1954 and attended St. Edwards. I am in two of the vintage photos, one marked 1965 (which is probably correct), and the one marked 1966) which is the year I left.
