Class of 1981
The class of 1981 reunited in the Devenish Arms on Friday 13th March to mark 45 years since embarking on their teacher training in St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s College, Belfast. It was a night of laughter, renewing friendships and sharing of memories. It was a special year of integration, with the two colleges coming together for many subjects for the first time. The warmth of the reunion spoke volumes about the close bonds fostered and maintained within the year group.
Looking forward to the next one!
