Marie McMillan: Can u remember Miss Toker

Lainey McGuckin: Miss King was another tyrant

Helen Dyer: today’s kids have no idea how much fun they missed… it’s all electronic now, no imagination, unless it’s for getting into more trouble than we ever did. lol

Linda Halpin: Anne O’Neil was my teacher, I sang with her too at Hasties Farm. I hated Mr Bonner, He said I was a trouble maker, huh, got that far wrong. I only hit a girl who was bullying me, and she never bullied me again I have to say.. lol x

Marion Young: I remember that background and stage, never got up there for a prize for being a good girl lol

Mary Boyle: Headmaster who wore a gown we nicknamed him Batman! Xx

Cathie Russell: I remember miss Toker throwing the duster at me and my aunt Katie told her off for it lol . I remember Miss O’Neil I was in first year when we got moved to John Ogilvie when they made it a primary school.

Michelle Razzaq: Met Mr McShane on Tuesday night, not changed except for ageing gracefully lol

Michelle Razzaq: Mrs Fletcher and Mrs Donnelly were my favourite teachers. Sad the old building is going but the new school is fantastic.

Marianne Aitken: Miss O’Neill used to slap her hand on the blackboard and scream ‘you are a thorn in my side!!!’ can anyone else remember this??? Other than that I thought she was a great teacher.

James Mcguire: Think the camera would blow if she was ever in a picture?
