FORT HILL College has launched a magazine to mark the school's 50th anniversary.

The 256 page book includes a history of the school and other items such as the reminiscences of past pupils and teachers, together with details of shows and trips and sporting and musical achievements during the past five decades.

It is a fascinating insight and is set to stir many memories for the thousands of pupils who attended this once all girls school, through to the Integrated Co-Ed establishment it is today. The magazine can be purchased from school.

Then on Friday 30th January there will be an Open House when the school will be open to the public during the afternoon and evening from 3pm to 7pm.
