Many people not from St Patrick's Parish may be surprised to know this photograph is taken on the roof of the school . Built in 1928 on the site of the old girls school ,the architect ,constrained by the size of the land available ,had use imaginative ideas to use every inch to its maximum,to this end the senior girls playground was situated on the roof.I wonder how many other schools in the country had such an unusual design?
