TEN years have passed since St Columba's High School moved into their present location on Fletcher Avenue, Gourock.

The original school was opened by Archbishop Donald Mackintosh of Glasgow on Greenock's Peat Road in June 1933.

Here are some pictures from the pages of the Telegraph featuring activities in the school over the years.

Pic1: This picture was taken when pupils and teachers moved into their new £15 million building on Fletcher Avenue in August 2013. Head teacher Jim Docherty along with councillors Terry Loughran and Martin Brennan joined students for this first official media picture outside the new building.

I look forward to visiting the school this year now that pupils and staff are back and the 2023-24 academic year is under way.
