Kilmacud Stillorgan local History Society > New book on St Laurence’s Boys National School.

Kilmacud Stillorgan local History Society has just published a new book on St Laurence’s Boys National School.

The book tells of the determination of local people to establish a national school in Stillorgan village in the 1830s. The school was located on what is now the Old Dublin Road and moved to its present location in 1931. Since then it has grown to meet the needs of the expanding suburb.

Written by Society committee member and historian Margaret Smith, the book contains interviews with past pupils, teachers and others associated with the school. It also casts an eye on the changes that have taken place in Stillorgan. You might be surprised to find yourself in one of its large collection of photographs.

Are you a past pupil of St Laurence’s Boys National School? Perhaps you were a teacher, a member of the Board of Management or the Parents’ Association. Have you an interest in primary education or in your local history? If so, this book is for you.

The book costs €15.00 and is also available in South Dublin Credit Union in Stillorgan and from the History Society’s Online Shop at www.kilmacudstillorganhistory.ie  It is also hoped to sell the book in the Village cafe.  For further details email: stillorganlocalhistory@gmail.com.
