the greatest skool ever i have many fond memories

Carly shut up u dont know what you're talking about

I went to St Galls from 1970 til 1977 and they were the best days of my life, i lived on Theresa Street opposite the Dunville Park and it was a short walk to school everyday up both Waterford and Clonard Streets. I clearly remember my class teacher who was a mr Lyons with curly hair and a moustache to match, then there was mr Lecky and mr McCartan, i've got vivid memories of Bro Leopold. Those were the day's and they will live with me forever!

I attend St Gall’s primary school in the 1970’s. I can say it was the most enjoyable and memorable time of my school life. I met some charters and friends, as did we all. My only regret is we all lost contact as our schools lives moved on. Br. Leopold was a gentleman among pupils and I was privileged to know him. He along with Tommy Macken changed my educational path for which I am forever grateful. Tommy Macken went on to teach in Zambia and if he ever reads this I hope he would get in contact as IOU him drink and a chat.

If any pupils of the 70’s are arranging a reunion count me in!!!!!

i loved this school wish i could go back best time of my life staterd it in 1994 then left 2001

aidan mc gowan update:
Is jim mullgrew still alive an also his br.inlaw jim galagher from st.thomas's highschool on the whiterock rd. Jim galager will know me as barney the millionaire < all B.S> Its was fun while I pulled the B.S lol.
P.S jim mullgrew is that your daughter that is a teacher now?

dis school is the best school in da world

Was at St Galls from 1984-1991. Brings back a lot of memories looking at the site. Mrs Carton was my first teacher there, and Mr Lecky my last. I remember the weekly crosswords well... football on a Thursday and the trip to the Falls Baths for football, hockey then swimming, the christmas tree in the main entrance area- I always looked forward to that. All my uncles and brothers went there too, and my grandad. Wishing my retired teachers and Mr Devine a long and happy retirement.

MMC

st galls is absoulty fab i loved walking down and seeing them all come out ,all my mates went to st . galls and there all really cool they must follow mr . Divine and everyone was nearly crying when we saw the school being toren down up with st galls

A past pupil from way back --1950 to 56. Bro Gerard was Headmaster; Bro, Malachy taught Music (remember the Gregorian Chant?. I started of with Miss Grimley in "babies': then Miss Taggart and in Primary 1 moved to Hector Mc Donald's class and had him right through to Primary 7 . What a teacher and what an influence he had on all of us. He was the one who introduced the radio into the classroom for "Singing Together". What a new fangled idea that was --now I look here at the pictures and see all the computers!! "Old Hector" will live on in the hearts of those of us who were privileged to have him. His teaching has stayed with me through my own teaching career. Thanks St. Galls.

wel dis is lee roy st galls was clas good luck in st clares

I attended this school from P.5 through to P7. It was an excellent school with excellent teachers, even the teachers or teacher i should say (Mr.Lecky) who i didn't get on with were all trying to do there best for us pupils. For me the highlight of the year was always the christmas pantomime where i would participate in the school choir. My favourite teacher had to be Mr. McCartan, his class was fun and he took us on school trips and taught me how to play the tin whistle.

Glory days indeed and i miss it so.

my name is patrick oreilly i went to the school from primary 2 until primary 5 the last teacher i had at the time was mr trainor and i think the principal that was there when i left was called jim i cant remember his second name (Mr. Devine) but he was a very nice man and always gave me a tie or jumper when i forgot mines lol i always remember the pictures on display outside the office of the pupils lol its a shame i left but i really love the memories i had from this school

Found the website by accident and am delighted I did. My brother Joe and I attended St Galls between 1958 - 1964 or thereabouts. We lived in Iveagh Cres but couldnt get into St Pauls Primary so ended up in St Galls. Dedicated teaching staff like Bros Leopold, Killian, Gabriel, Anthony etc gave us the grounding we needed as we embarked on life. Sadly the troubles meant so many of our generation had to leave Belfast . Sad to see the school now demolished but so many happy memories.

Hiya i just wanna say any 1 who's on this from Stclare's and had either Mrs Hughes, MissMonaghan (best teacher ever) or MrBirts class and were in P7 i'll miss yas all!

gd luck!

I went to St Gall's between 1984 - 1989 when my family lived in Bombay Street. I wish I had the chance to see the school before it was knocked down. Some of the best years of my life in and around that school, especially the Friday night disco in the club next door, and the ghost stories of the old school building!!! I remember the cemented traintracks down the P5-7 yard at the back and the races we used to have up and down them. The craic in that school was brilliant. I'm almost 28 now, and don't remember a lot of names from back then, though Stephen Comerford, Billy Armstrong, Eddie Guinea, Liam Carson, Paul Lynch etc all stay fresh in my head.
I remember Mr Devine v well, he was a great headmaster. Mr Lecky, you probably wouldn't remember me, I was a quiet one in your class, you never got to sting my hands lol. Mr Murray, Ms Doyle (remember the spelling tests and the prize pencils and rubbers etc?), Ms Lowe, Miss Carton(whose sister was in the school I went to after that), Ms Culbert (who then joined the school after that as Nursery Head), and my old P1 teacher Ms Kearney.
I remember the hopscotch in the yard, and the markings on the wall, the bottled milk (before Thatcher got her way), the dinners in the big old dining room, and then doing PE in it with the ropes and ladders.
Is there ever meant to be a reunion? Wish there were some more photos of our old teachers up there. And the old uniform, I used to wear a red tie, but when I first started I had a blacknwhite one, but don't know if that was the older tie or not.
There are so many memories, keep them fresh!!!
St Gall's was the template of the best local neighbourhood school, and they don't make them like they used to anymore!!!!!
If anyone out there recognises me, drop me an email, liamlarmour@hotmail.co.uk. Used to live in 2 Bombay Street.
Best wishes to all the old teachers and pupils I encountered, you made my childhood the best!

I went to St Galls 1960 - 1965 and taught Brother Killian the man was saint

St. Gall's was the best school in the world. The best teacher there was Mr. Mc Cartan he was sound as anything.

I was a pupil between 1973 and 1980. What happened to all the old class photos that used to be ouside the Head Masters office? It would be good to see some of them on the web-site. Gerry Murray was a good spud. I hope he's enjoying a well-earned retirement. Hello to Mrs Doyle (Cavanagh if you're old enough to remember). Up P7a!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE WHO WORKED IN ST GALLS.

the school rocks we dont want it to close up the galls

St Galls was a great school should never have closed. Was a brilliant school with brilliant teachers.

I really loved my old school.

MR KENNEDY was the best and we want mr devine back. Up st galls

I went to St Galls 1960-1967. P1 teacher, Ms Comerford, P7 teacher Bro Benedict.
P7 was located in 2 rooms under the main stand at Casement Park because of
renovations to the school. What a way to prepare for your 11+. My 6 Uncles all went
to St Galls so I was sent too, even though I lived in Andersonstown.
My memories are all good!

Found this site by accident, really sad when the old school went.
I can still hear Mr Lecky shouting the odds...a legend!!
Good to see my old mate Gerry Cunningham post a comment

St galls was the best school i have ever been to in my live

st clares is a good school but st galls was better
i wish we had all of our old teachers back again
and mr devine up st galls

I went to St.Galls for a brief period in 1966/67. We used to live in the (Old) Colligan St
and in those traffic-free days a four and a half year old could walk to school in the
company of one or two of the bigger boys, up Waterford St and past the Church with its
new car park.. The red brick entrance to the school seemed to be a hundred feet high.
Unless I am mistaken, the classroom was through a door on the left as one enters the
yard. One thing that impressed me was a miniature wooden fort at one end of the
room in which somebody had put a very large molar tooth (complete with roots ) along
with the toy soldiers. I remember us all singing 'we all live in a yellow submarine' - I
hadn't a clue what it meant but it sounded good... Our teacher was a lovely woman
whose name I have forgotten completely - does anybody know who she was? She
taught primary 1 during 1966/67 and was quite young.
We moved house in 1967 and I spent the next couple of years in St Aidan's in
Whiterock before we left the north completely.
I drove past St Galls in 2004, the last time I was in Belfast, and I was delighted
to see the school still there and mostly unchanged. I am saddened therefore to
learn of its demise. To me it will always be an emblem of innocent times, an
icon of my childhood.

I attended St Galls from 1961 - 1967 I remember many of the teachers including Miss
Stewart, Miss Nugent, Bro Anthony, Bro Eugene and Bro Benedict. My fondest memory
was winning the B league and Championsips in 1967. Great school - sadly missed.

i thought they would have changed this school website but naa
this is wee john mc corry here wdc

hey pplz wdc stgalls and st johns were da bst skool ever!!!!!

come on st. galls

Went to St. Galls 60 to 67. First teacher Miss Comerford. At that time Br. Leopold taught my older brother. Br Leopold then went to Keady Co. Armagh for a few years & came back as principal. He was known at that time as "the walking beanstick". He was also the man responsible for St Galls youth club up a very dark lane beside Milltown Cemetary. Out of which came both St Galls GAC& Star of the Sea basketball club. I was in St Galls when it was being renovated & the whole school moved into the changing rooms of Casement Park for a few years. It's hard to believe its now closed & neither St Galls nor Br. Leopold are with us any longer.

i was the last person to join st.galls i was very sad to see st.galls close i wish we could have mr.devine to be are principal HE IS THE BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

mr.lecky igot into la salle

I want st.galls to stay and to have the same principal and teachers

g,day ,my full name is francis roderick nolan and
i used to live in cawnpore st, my grandfather lived
in bombay street,and i found this site by accident
while researching for a trip back to my home.
i went to st galls in the 1950s as did my brothers
i think the teachers name was dornan and another
was ms kelly what a job they had trying to teach me.
but they instilled in me a love of reading and the desire
to ask questions that has enriched my life ,i was never
the best kid in the class .a dreamer,giddy in class were
some of the kinder comments made about me,but the
teachings and moral stanards i was exposed to have
allowed me to reach for and attain goals, far beyond my
wildest dreams.times were tough in those days ,going to
school with a sugar sandwich but what the hell we had a
load of fun even if the strap was filled with coins .
my life has taken many twists and turns since leaving st galls
and thankfully i can say i have led a charmed life both in private
and business.and i can say with pride that this old boy,
WENT TO ST GALLS.cheers

hope everbody does well in st.clares

Im sorry i did nt hear about the last open night of st galls,
im a past pupil ( 1971-1977) and would have really loved
a last look around the old school, my brothers also went to
st galls , Stephen , Paul and Gary. i have fond memories of
Brother leopold and brother Gabriel < who i considered the
best teacher at the school, can any one tell me what ever
became of brother Gabriel ? Id be happy to hear from any old
class mates especially Crunchie

I see Al Drummond can still waffle! Sad to see the old place go.

Dis skool is da best. St. Galls G.A.A R CLASS

The school website is very good

This School is the best around the area

I love school. The teachers are great. Mr Devine is my mate.

I like the new school it is coming on well

I went to Saint Galls from 1964-1972 and I will
always appreciate the opportunity that the School
gave a wee boy from Belfast to make something of
himself. The names Comerford, Leopold and Killian,
I will remember fondly as teachers dedicated to their kids.
God bless as Saint Clare's.We won't forget.

St. Galls is da best!!! The website is coo!!! Keep
it going even when the school is torn down.
My wee bro Conor is in P.1.

Class website. Keep it going even when the school
closes. My wee bro Conor is in P.1. Good luck.

Who else thinks the uniform is too tight and confining?

The website is the best. I am a past pupil of St. Galls.

Definitely the best website from a school I've seen in ages. It looked liked the kids and
teachers had fun dressing up, although for some it definitely was an improvement.

St. Galls is the best school I have ever been at.
This is my last year at St. Galls and I'm doing the 11+.
The best teacher is Mr. Lecky. Thank you St. Galls
team for all your help. Gerard Mc Donald

Terrific web site. Went to St. Galls 1943-1950.
Are there any students left from that long ago.
Live in Ottawa, Canada.

Good Grief - a website for my old alma mater.
Left St G's in 1975 - Ollie Lecky?
I remember Tiger Moylan tackling him in the cow pats
of the old St Galls pitch.
I still think of my friends from there; most I haven't
seen in 30 years. I pined throughout my 7 years in
St Marys CBS, for Bro Leopold, and the rest.
Still won't forget Mrs Comerford, Miss Cuthbert -
Gerry O'Reilly - our class and Ollie's were always
playing matches against each other. Guess who
always won!! I'm sad to see the old school being
torn down, I remember my first day in school,
when the army was using it as a temporary billet,
how cool was that!!
Live in Newcsatle now, working as an accountant.

I have just left St. Gall's School with the best teacher
in the world Mr. Mc Cartan. I wish I could one more year at St. Gall's

St. John's Girls' is da bezt school. No affence St. Galls is good school 2.

St. Gall's is da bomb. I'm was in P7 and I want to
go back because I miss it. I'm really Ryan Kavanagh
(I mean it really)

My teacher was Mr Mc Cartan and he was funny and Im going to miss him and the school.

I left St Galls in 1957 and emigrated to Canada and then to America.
With the education I had received at St Galls I was able to take the
Standard Test and receive a High Scool Diploma. I have since
received a Associate Degree in Business and a Bachelor's degree
in Business Management. Thank you St Galls.I have been back this
year and visited the old school it brought back memories I didn' know
I had. St Galls will be missed because, it not only the distinction of the
De La Salle Brothers teachings but the quality of Education taught there.

Sincerly

Joe Hughes
Joseph.A.Hughes@ngc.com

I am now a past pupil of St Galls and please keep this web site going

I attended the school from 1982- 1988 (I think?).
Glad to see the school is going strong, I had
some of the best years of my life there, remember
going to the Falls baths every Thursday with the
class and Mr Leckey for football, hockey then in for a
swim, and that wasnt even our P.E day - brilliant!!
Would like to hear from anyone in my old class, drop me a line hotcolum@hotmail.com.
All the best for the future, Adh Mor

St.Galls School is the best and I hope all the teachers especially Mr.Mcartan the best of luck

I loved St. Galls because it is the best.

THE SCHOOL WEBSITE IS MAD

The school was a bit good and a bit hard

It is good to see the school is doing well.
I wish I was back at it. Mr.Mc Cartan was
the best teacher in the school and Mr. Devine
was the best too. GOOD LUCK!

I love ballet . I wish this school had ballet lessons after school.
I love Shannon Foster

I am a past pupil at St. Galls I think it is brilliant.
I miss Wednesdays at Grosvenor. I was in
Mr Lecky's class. Mr Divine is the best principal ever.

the web games are so cool

The site is amazing and the games are class
MUFC ARE DA BEST

This school is the best

This is so cool man

St Galls is class cant wait to see the new school

Delighted to find the website.I had the priviledge
of attending st galls in three different locations
1st in the old clonard hall with Miss O Donnell then
up to Casement Park with Miss Comeford back to
waterville st with miss Comeford then Mr Monaghan
then Mr Leckey!(hands still sting but did me no harm)
then Mr (DJ.) Mc Ginley.Many happy years my family
also had the shop at the top of Waterville St until
march 1974 which served the school well and helped
set up the first tuck shop. Hope to attend any events
coming up before closure and offer my services if i
can be of any help. would love to have a last look around,
couldnt attend centenary due to my late wife's illness.

HI there,

Great school website. I met the webmaster
at a Spider course in the BELB and I said I
would check out this site! Great!

Looks like a great school!

All the best!

I think this site would be better if there was
more games and fun things to do like painting,car games.

The school was very good.

I think St. Galls is ccccccccccooooooooolllllllllllll

I'm a past pupil. In 1st year uni now in Liverpool.
Gutted the old school is getting knocked down.
But its jst bricks and mortar! Luv'd it to bits.
Teachers are/were brilliant. Miss the auld place.
All the best with the new school!

I thing that the school website is very good.
It has the guestbook and the news about the
school, and the kidszone and news about us and the staff.

St. Galls r da best!!!!!!

I went to the school myself and and I would to
knowif there will be a night for all the past pupils
who went to the school to go.

I am a past pupil. I am in second year now.
St. Galls is good. My favourite teacher was
Mrs. Hughes, she was brill. I also liked
Mrs. Doyle who left and Ms. Lowe who left as well.
I was in the team that won the league and
I wish all the teachers the best in years to come.

THE SCHOOL IS VERY GOOD. IT IS THAT GOOD
I DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE IN JUNE. I WILL MISS
ALL THE BOYS IN P7B AND OUR TEACHER
MR MC CARTAN PLUS THE REST OF THE STAFF
IN ST GALLS LIKE THE DINNER LADIES AND
MR DEVINE AND MR O HARE WHO TAKES THE
P7S FOR FOOTBALL ON A MONDAY AND WENDESDAY.
THE SCHOOL IS THE BEST IN ALL OF WEST BELFAST

Why do we have to amalgamate with St. Johns and St. Catherines?

I left the school in 99 {i think} and it looks as though St Galls has got better and better. Great Site

teach us. I HOPE ALL THE PUPILS IN ST CLARES HAVE
A GOOD TIME IN SCHOOL

I will be sad when we transfer to St. Clare's Primary School as our school is small & friendly

I can't believe the school has been around for 2,000 yrs!!!!
It has been standing for that long. I never knew it was so
famous. ST.GALLS is the best school in the world.

This is a very good website. I would reccomend this website although there is a lot of spelling mistakes. All in all this is a very good site and I am a present pupil.

Good website but it needs something more exciting. (Any suggestions?)

St.Galls is a brilliant school. I have enjoyed my 7 years. This is my last year. I am doing my 11+. All the best

This is a brilliant school. I moved far away but I wanted to stay at my school.

I think the website is great. The information about the school is brilliant. I cant wait for more photos.

Why does this school have to be knocked down because it is a very good school, and I like the people as they are good in it.

What is the reason for 2 girl schools and one boy school (us) to join together.

Good luck to St. Gall's on moving to another place. I hope that it is as happy a school as this school and that sir {Mr.Devine} will stay at being a headmaster because he is a brilliant headmaster. good luck all of u people.

I like St. Gall's, it is a good school.

I think ST.GALLS is good but I am looking forward to going to my new school. Well there is a new school being built (St. Clare's) but we cant be in it, we will be in secondary school. I would like to go to St. Clares. It will be a mixed school. Well got to go.

If St. Galls weren't here life would be nothing.

St. Gall's is brill.

I love this website. It was fun looking at the photos.

Brillant web site! Can't wait for more pictures and interesting facts.

I am a past pupil of the school and it's nice to see that the site is up and running so I can look back at the old school. The site is brilliant, as at the moment I have finished my Web Design course for ICT A-Level and it would surely pass the critiera. I liked the school when I attended and would like to come back if I decide that I would like to be a teacher for training there.
Most of all I am sad that the school is closing, to move into a new school as it will not be the same atmosphere. Say hello to all the staff there.

Hi the site is great. I can't wait until more pictures get put on (gealic team) as this section is good. I like the site as there are alot of interesting things to do and find out.

Good luck, can't wait to see all the photos!

I think this website is very good because it is my school and I can see all of my friends on it. The games on it are cooooll#

I am writing to ask if I could come back on a day I'm off
and help round the school. I'm doing great in my new school.
I like all my teachers and I am keeping my cool.
I have passed two I.T. test in school and in ITXP-Springvale.
As you know I was not the best at english but I am getting better.
I hope you can get time out of your busy day to read this.
When I say busy, I mean running the best school I have ever
heard off or went to. My sister wants on the computer now so I must go.

I liked this site very much as it is about our school!! some of the teachers pictures are VERY funny!!!!

Nice looking site..., congratulations.
Just slightly puzzled as to why REAL football (the kid's favourite!!) isn't played at my grandson's school!

Nice to see the old school is still going strong - for a while at least!
