New era for rural school pupils
IN 1986 upwards of 100 children stepped into the future when they returned for the new school term.
The most modern primary school in Lisburn opened at Maghaberry to replace the old Soldierstown and Maghaberry buildings.
Completed at a cost of £275,000 the bright new building incorporated several unique features. The striking elements included the bright, modern and spacious design, replacing the drab image of the traditional classroom.
