TERRY Wood was in the cohort of 60 students when St Patrick’s school opened in 1956.
He had transferred from Mologa State School as a nine-year-old.
As news of the school’s closure filtered through Pyramid Hill last week, Terry reflected on the good education received by hundreds of local people over almost seven decades.
“It’s sad that there are no longer the enrolments to keep St Patrick’s open,” he said,
“The school has been a very good one and generations of local children have been taught by dedicated teachers.
“We’ll be sorry to see the end of an era in December but we can all look back with a lot of pride that we were part of a school that has contributed to providing a quality education and a big part of the community.
“That’s something worth celebrating,” he said.
No announcement has been made on future use of the school facilities.
