I, as Principal and proud former pupil of St. Feichín’s National School, Abbey, want to take this opportunity to say how privileged I am to be affiliated with the commemorative celebrations of the establishment of our school.
The stories and photographs shared with you in this booklet are personal ones providing you with an insight into the recollections of the many children and people who passed through the ”big wooden door” over the last century.
St. Feichín’s was the foundation and starting point for the education and growth of so many people. This is a time to recall memories of the happy times, of the friendships made, of the subjects
taught and the learnings earned and of course, to share the occasional story where innocence prevailed and mischief took hold! For all past pupils, these are the tales of our school and a tribute to the many great people who contributed to its history and to those who continue to believe its bright future.
