On Thursday, 12th February a selection of students and staff presented President Michael D. Higgins with a copy of '60 Years A Growing' to complete our Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
A group of students and staff had a truly memorable morning on Thursday, 12th February when we presented a copy of our book, '60 Years A Growing' to President Michael D. Higgins as the culmination of our Diamond Jubilee celebrations. The President spoke very warmly about the book and Stratford College. Below is an extract from Ms Patricia Gordon's response:
"For our Diamond Jubilee the themes were literacy and our past pupils and what we have got is a beautiful book full of wonderful memories. These stress the sense of community that pervades the school, the attachment that students past and present have for Stratford and the important role that teachers play in young people’s lives.
Sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, mother and fathers are represented though the ages. Their memories are not of syllabus and points but of the strong relationships they forged with fellow students and the teachers they had. It is a testament to the enduring and transformative power of the teacher in a young person’s formative years."
There are lots of photographs on the Web Gallery, 2014-2015.
As is tradition at this time of year, the annual rounders game took place between our outgoing 6th Years and Teachers. Despite great efforts by our 6th years and some fabulous play, Teachers came out victorious. Fair play to all who played in this game.
