    I was wondering what was going on when I was walking past yesterday. There was supposed to be an entire new building by the time I was in 5th year. That'd be 6 and half years ago.


    I'd imagine this is a case of governement funding not being available rather than the school not remembering to do the work.

    No it's not - it's closed because the heating is not working..

    Heating never worked properly even back in the 1970's when the place was brand spanking new:(

    Coolmine school is closed tomorrow and friday because of the weather. Teachers have it soooo good!! :)

    Meh I know office workers who were sent home from work because the heating wouldn't work and because the weather was too bad. No one should be expected to endanger themselves to get to work, or to work in buildings that aren't heated. My school is open tomorrow though.

    Not too sure about that building but there is the new extension being built out the back if that's what your talking about.

    Thats being built because they don't have a new building yet, and I assume they won't be getting one for a good long time.

    The planning permission was only obtained the year I left there. From what I heard a few years back, the money keeps getting shifted around to 'more needy' schools.

    Never mind. Doesn't bother me anyway.

    Wow, I just came across this thread! I was there from 1988-1993 - I remember it being bitter cold all the time, I remember puking in the chapel thing in A corridor and not telling anyone it was me, and I remember the vile smell from the science labs and from a certain Irish teachers breath......;)

    We used to have our lunch at the top of one of the Malls, I can't remember which one, but there used to be a big gang of us. Is the big mural of JFK still there? Ah, memories.....

    Great times as a student back in the 2000s. Wonder what Mr. Malone, Ms Peavoy, Mrs Craven up to? I can only remember my English, Irish and maths teachers.

    Howerya lads.

    Pretty sure that day in Eddie's lives on in infamy. Can't remember who found us all in the malls but I remember "what the hell are you all doing!?"

    And that time (one of them) that we were just left in the classroom for the last class of the day and Sobo went mental and just wouldnt let us leave!
