schoolhouse

25" OSI Map showing the school as described in the Waterford County Museum Notes - "a very nice stone building on the sea-front with no grounds".

These other Waterford County Museum notes about Coláiste Deaglán as it was called would suggest that by 1924 Monea House was being leased and used as the school . It is now the Round Tower Hotel. Ardmore. landedestates.nuigalway.ie/LandedEstates/jsp/property-sho...

O Mac They also have a photo of the Irish College.

There's a small history here including: Many of the teachers were locals but there were also some from further afield. Some well known teachers were: Míchéal O Foghlú, Míchéal O Conchubhar, Míchéal Céitinn, Déagláin Suipéal, Liam Wool and Diarmaid Ó Drisceoil who came from Cape Clear.

Re the photo referenced above taken at the same time, that was posted here a couple of years back... A slightly different Poole photo taken on the same day, where some of the students are in different positions (though all of them are in the photo) was published in the Cork Examiner on Friday, 1 August 1924 so July 1924 date is correct... "IRISH CLASSES AT ST. DECLAN’S COLLEGE" "Students at St. Declan’s College Ardmore, Co. Waterford, an Irish-speaking district, where well-attended Irish classes for teachers have been held all this month. Many familiar faces will be seen in this group, as they are all well-known and popular teachers from the South of Ireland. (Poole, Waterford)."

Herbert Brown (1883-1984) is the teacher at right. [1]

Townsville Central State School is a heritage-listed state school and former prison at 4-6 Warburton Street, North Ward, City of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Francis Drummond Greville Stanley and built from 1877 to 1880 by J Rooney. It is also known as the former Townsville Gaol and Residence of the Police Inspector. In March 1869, four years after the settlement of Townsville, the first recognized school, the National School, was opened in a building that had been used as the Burdekin and Flinders Hospital on The Strand. The school began with 48 students with an average attendance for the year of 53. The school expanded in 1873 to include a girls' school for which a new building was erected in 1874 and an infant school was established in 1876 with its new building erected in 1879. In 1878 over 200 girls were attending the school. The school is located on Warburton Street at North Ward on a 3.405 ha flat site facing east at the foot of Castle Hill. The brick fence with iron balustrade to Warburton street is covered by a hedge and lined with mature shade trees. The gardens contain a variety of equipment, mature and ornamental trees, garden beds and seating areas. The site is bound to the south by a residential unit development on Gregory Street. A car park with entrance from Gregory Street, to the Dental Clinic adjacent to the west side of the quadrangle wall is fenced off from the school and sit adjacent to the hospital reserve. The Botanical Gardens form the western boundary and a day care centre and a preschool are located along the northern boundary to Kennedy Street.
