Sullivan Upper

This handsome, illustrated gift book will be welcomed and enjoyed by those associated with Sullivan Upper and indeed by everyone in the wider Holywood community. It is not a history book, although there is plenty of history in it; it is essentially a book of celebration. It tells many of the stories of the people who have attended the school, taught and worked in it or who have been associated with it, down through the years and up to the present day. There are numerous photographs, some showing the way things used to be and many taken by present day pupils showing the school as it is today. This is a book to be treasured and enjoyed, read and re-read, as it tells of the genuine affection and regard in which the school is held by generations of people for whom it has been a hugely positive and influential part of their lives. From the introduction by Dermot Murnaghan to the importance of nicknames for Mark Simpson and early golfing success for Rory McIlroy, there is much here to discover through the recollections and reminiscences of the famous and not-so famous. The book was launched last Thursday 24th September. To read Jill Luke's (Year 12) account of the event please go to School Newsblog
