During the remainder of the evening, the large number of past and present staff, pupils and parents enjoyed a trip down memory lane. They chatted together and looked at the displays of old photographs spanning the last fifty years of Rasharkin Primary School.
A huge thanks to all who attended and also to the current staff and pupils who worked tirelessly, preparing the displays for the event.
It really was a very special evening.
