Opened in 1911. Kevin JONES’s grandmother went there and remembers that it was built by the men of the parish, known locally as the ‘Mad Malachites’. Every night, their work would be undone, only for them to start again the next day. As you can see, they succeeded! The church (on the right of the picture) is right next to the school, and I remember that there is a connecting door.

The photo above was taken in the mid 1930s. The boy on the left end of the second row is Tom MULHEARN (born 1926), whose sisters Sebina and Marie taught at Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St CHarles respectively. Also on the photo are George ARMSTRONG (front row), and Dmetrius LEOSIDES (I may have mis-spelt that!). Thanks to Richard MULHEARN for the photo, and the information.
