Ballymena Primary School celebrates its 175th birthday

Dessie Rock, the school’s crossing patrol man, is a past pupil who now has great nieces and nephews at the school.

“I know loads of the kids,” he said.

“I know their grannies and grandads, uncles. It’s a community feel.

“It’s a good school. It was a good school when I went and it’s a good school today.”

Vice-principal Gareth Bridges is also a past pupil and said he was thrilled to be planning for the school’s 175th birthday celebrations.

“The children have been doing lots in class,” he said.

“We have put together a tile mosaic of self-portraits of every pupil and staff member in the school to commemorate it.

“And we are putting on a show as well – Mary Poppins – to tie into that historical era.”
