The Official Opening by Cormac Gleeson 6th Class
The official opening was a great occasion. In the morning, Denis Leamy came in and gave us a signed Munster jersey. We then put in things for the time capsule. I hope people in fifty years time will like things that were important to us. Then lots of people came in the next hour. After a lot of meeting and greeting, we went on to the ribbon cutting and after that Fr.Egan and Fr.Brennan blessed the school. There were prayers of the faithful said by parents and children and then we went inside for some speeches from Fr.Egan and Mr. Manley then all of the children sang songs for all the guests. Leah, Hannah and Jennifer all Irish danced for us. Then the adults had food in room 1 and the children had food in the lunchroom.
At around 7pm, there was a barbeque with burgers and hotdogs. Everyone enjoyed it and it went on for a long time!
The opening day was a very special occasion which will be etched into Dualla’s history forever and was a day I will never forget.
