17 amazing photos of life at Newtownabbey Community High School in 2006/07

Almost a decade since Newtownabbey Community High School closed its doors for the final time to merge with Monkstown Community School to form Abbey Community College, we took a look back through the Newtownabbey Times archive to see what life was like at the school.

The school site, located in the Shore Road area, closed in 2015 ahead of the amalgamation.

Check out these brilliant pictures offering a snapshot of life at the school in 2006 and 2007.

Hopefully they bring back some happy memories.
