Thanks to everyone who arranged and took part in the tours of the school on 10th June. I had a great time reminiscing about all my old pals and teachers and met some old friends too. ill be very sorry to see the old place gone, but I will always have some great memories to take with me wherever I go. | |

| Joe Harrower | 23 June 2008 12:08:50 |
I had great night on Saturday at the final feast of St. Modan, thanks for organising it. It was great to meet up with some past pupils and to do a tour of the old school, leaving the gym block, which was my spiritual home, until the end, and great to meet Mr Bill Black, who was a very insprational teacher. | |
| Kevin Mackin | 22 June 2008 15:42:26 |
Good luck on the move to the new school..had some great memories of the old skool from 1980-84...dont suppose theres many teachers left there now that remember any the Mackin bhoys..if i'm right,think there was Mackin's attending in every decade up till the late 80's.. | |

Hi, I just wanted to say what a fantastic evening the Final Bash was. It was a bit strange, and slightly emotional doing the tour, so many memories and i think a real shame knowing that the old school was going. | |
| Gemma Stolarek | 21 June 2008 00:19:50 |
Just wanted to say a big HELLOOOOO to all cast and crew of The Canterbury Tales 2008. It was amazing to part of such a fantastic production. Missing it so much already!! | |
| Bernie McGurk | 20 June 2008 23:18:26 |
So sad I could not make the bif event!!t, my thoughts and very happy memories with the school. | |
| Mrs Brown | 18 June 2008 22:27:31 |
I wasn't sure what to expect but I thoroughly enjoyed the Canterbury Tales. The show was superb - very funny and very well delivered. A huge mount of work must have gone into making this so professional It was great to see so many pupils involved and getting into the part especially Alex dressed as a woman and the rooster - well done to all involved. | |
| sarah | 18 June 2008 16:38:50 |
I cant wait until the new school.It is supposed to be fabulous! | |
| Alison lindsay | 18 June 2008 15:10:28 |
well done everyone on the Canterbury Tales. a thorougly enjoyable night with lots of laughs. excellent value for money and a fitting goodbye to Barnsdale Road! | |
| Christopher Graham | 12 June 2008 20:29:18 |
Was quite sad to walk round the building one last time, but so glad I did it. So many memories....and thanks Sarah for reminding me of "Come on Barbie, lets go party!!!". Games hall still smells the same,everywhere did. Sad to see the old place go but times move on. | |
| Patrick Nolan | 11 June 2008 13:39:53 |
I was there last night for the visit with my brother James. We were both pupils in the sixties. I was amazed that I could still find my way around (the old part) after so long and pleased to see Mr. Gray (Technical Drawing) and Mr. Farmer (Music) who taught us back then. My brother and I are so glad we were able to attend the open night. | |
| Andy Roberts | 10 June 2008 12:30:51 |
For Martin McMenemy in particular but also for all I knew: I know this is a late post but I will be visiting the school this evening, 10 Jun, and do look forward to meeting some old friends. Returning home after nearly 40 years in the Army, there's a lot to catch up on. | |
| Maureen Dawson | 10 June 2008 10:16:09 |
Please can I ask that you add 5 people to the numbers for the last tour of the school ? Many thanks. | |

Cant wait till Tuesday for one final walk round the old corridors. My wee cousin is going to the new school, so she'll never know how good it was at Barnsdale Road. Sad to see the school go but time moves on. Anyway guys, see you Tuesday. And contact me via email if you want.I was at school from 94-00, and I WAS Chubb!!!! | |

Just to Say that my sister Veronica and myself will be at the school on 10th June 2008 with all the other ex pupils for a last look around. Will be strange when the building is not there any more, it has been a landmark in St Ninians for so many years.Hope to see many other ex classmates there too. | |

Looking forward to going round the old place for the last time, and hopefully see a few old faces (well...maybe not so old). I attended from 1967-72 and have fond memories of a great school. | |

| Louise O'Hanlon | 02 June 2008 09:57:49 |
Sadly I cant attend the "final walk" as I now live too far away but I would love to have gone, i feel sad that neither my primary or high school remain to show to my children when they are older. I think It would be a great idea and a fitting tribute for the teaching team to take some photos of the key areas of the school and post them to their website to allow those of us who cant attend to join in from afar!! | |
| Hildegard Wylezalek | 01 June 2008 14:41:48 |
Can't wait to see the old school one last time. I have such good memories from my time there of pupils and teachers so I really hope there are going to be lots of them there. I'll be coming with Elizabeth Reynolds and I'm going to speak to Joe Lafferty this week to see if he will come too. | |
| Louise McDonald (nee McCallum) | 31 May 2008 13:54:14 |
Attended to St Modans Aug 1988 - June 1994 | |
| Pauline Thomson (nee McCabe) | 28 May 2008 15:47:15 |
Can't wait for a last trip down memory lane - me, Margaret McIntrye and Leeann Walker - 1974 - 78 | |
| John Pryde | 28 May 2008 15:24:25 |
I'm keen to establish if any of my class mates are attending the last supper - sorry the last doo at the School .. Class 1E Start Date August 77 - Kilbane, Mcintyre, Podmore, Mills, Bennet, McFarlane, Dougan etc etc.. | |
| mag mcintyre | 28 May 2008 14:09:45 |
I loved my time at st modans (when i wisnae plugging it) I will love to do the walk round so hope to see old friends x | |
| Patrick Martin | 27 May 2008 15:25:11 |
I would be interested to know if anyone from S5/6 in 1986/1987 will be going to the final walk around St Modan's. You can contact me at the Email address stated. | |
| Shona Martin | 27 May 2008 14:23:05 |

Hi! | |
| Martin McMenemy | 20 May 2008 22:16:25 |
Will be delighted to visit the old school and see the old tech drawing and applied mechanics rooms bringing back memories of vectors, isometric and oblique projection with sections through AA etc. Hope to see Bill Ross, Frank Keenan, Andy Roberts, Joe Lafferty and any other stalwarts of the class of '65. Ah the smell of 5 Woodbine!! Great school and teachers which led me to a degree at Stirling University and into teaching and business. | |
| Pat McMullan | 20 May 2008 20:04:29 |
Just to say that I will be attending on 10th June for a last look around the school. Iplayed regularily for the football team. I left in 1949 | |

| Charlie Callaghan | 18 May 2008 23:21:33 |
Read about your invitation to have a final tour of the old school. My wife and I who are former pupils would love to attend. Interesting to see if the memory is still working after 57 years | |
| Dawn Waddell | 18 May 2008 19:30:58 |
Hi, | |
| Susan King (nee Bundy) | 15 May 2008 17:28:46 |
Both my younger sisters Laura and Paula along with my Mum, Maureen (nee Flynn) would not miss this. We all feel a bit a sad - all ex-pupils. I especially enjoyed my school years - didn't want to leave as it goes. It will be really good to see old faces again too. Looking forward to it. | |
| Patrick Nolan | 15 May 2008 14:41:10 |
I intend to be there for a last look round on the 10th. June. | |
| Maureen Murray | 14 May 2008 12:36:10 |

| liz lindsay | 12 May 2008 13:47:43 |
My mum and myself will be there for the final tour | |
| chris mckenna | 10 May 2008 00:27:22 |
I think i might manage to drag myself around the old coridors again. My older sister, younger sister, younger brother, mum and dad ALL were part of this school. I think my mum taught there as well. I will make sure i am there to wander around! | |
| Sarah MacLaren | 06 May 2008 22:45:15 |

| Lynsey-Ann Burke | 05 May 2008 18:29:07 |
A final tour of the school? Too right I'll be there!! The final goodbye :) I couldnt miss it! | |
| Joanna Crolla | 05 May 2008 17:50:36 |
Tour for ex pupils on the 10th of June....count me in!! | |
| Lisa McEwan | 05 May 2008 17:46:50 |
I'm glad ex pupils have been given a chance to see the school one last time, I'll definitely be attending on the 10th of June with the usual group :) | |
| Jamie Burgoyne | 04 May 2008 22:00:04 |
Count me in on the last tour. It will truly be the end of an historic 75 year Era. | |
| Marie Temporal | 01 May 2008 22:26:41 |
Glad there is going to be a "final tour", myself and my "siamese twin" aka Tracey McBryde will definitely be coming along!! | |
| claire comrie | 25 April 2008 23:34:36 |
Hi I would just like to say that i am going to the new St Modan's but my cousin Christopher Graham and his brother are going to the End of an Era. | |
| JAMIE KELLY | 24 April 2008 16:30:21 |
Glad that the school is hosting a "last tour" on the 10th. June. I must come along and wander the bright ,welcoming,corridors once again and fill my lungs once more with the slightly "Dettol" tinged air!! I hope that the other Mr. Kelly (Owen) rounds up the 6th. year (scholars) who left in 1975, Harrower,Corrieri, Pollock, Gallagher, Docherty, Giannandrea,Kennedy, Freer, Boyle, Coll, O'Carroll,Kinross,Tortolano,Petale, Cooper,and any other miscreant that has escaped my memory! I have just realised the above list sounds like a team sheet for a Celtic/Inter Milan old boy's select!!!! the only footballer amongst us was Andy. Kennedy who famously left half of his pate on the ceiling tiles in the sixth year common room, whilst demonstrating a flying header scored against St. Mungo HS, his hairdo was never quite the same again.Talking of hairdo's, can't wait to see if Tom Coll's perm. has come back in to fashion again, and if Joe Harrower has grown any taller than the 5'4"he was when he left school!! Looking forward to reliving some memories of the old place,although it was quite bizarre to watch Mr. Kelly some 5 years ago, during a quick visit,wagging his finger at a 2nd year pupil outside Home Ec. he does know the name of every single pupil, which proves that his recall has improved over the years. And whatever we do, don't mention The Beatles, we'll be there all night!!!!!! | |
| Christopher Graham | 21 April 2008 21:12:04 |
Hi guys,just to say that myself and my brother Alan will be coming to the last tour of the school on the 10th.I really did enjoy my time at St Modans and my favourite teacher was MR Black.Dont think he teaches anymore but looking forward to see everyone when the time comes.By the way, my nickname was Chubb so if you can remember me, get in touch via email. | |
| Alan Graham | 21 April 2008 21:04:42 |
Just to say that me and Christopher will be attending on 10th June for a last look around the school. Unable to make the fairwell disco. cant wait to have a last look around. | |
| Editor | 21 April 2008 20:29:57 |
Some changes are necessary to the school calendar due to migration plans for moving to the new school - please keep an eye on our News section for updates. Unfortunately it has been necessary to change the dates of some events taking place in the last 2 weeks of the Summer Term - The Final Tour is now moved to Tuesday 10th June. This should not be confused with the 'Feast of St Modan' Dinner Dance & Tour which is confirmed for Saturday 21st June as planned. | |
| Stephen Allan | 17 April 2008 20:14:56 |
Had been contacted recently by many ex pupils regarding the school being knocked down etc. I would just like to say that my time at St Modan's was without a doubt crazy, educational and totally life changing. Thanks to all the teachers who had either the fortunate or unfortunate task of teaching me. Anyone wishing to contact me do so via me email. Around 10 ex pupils i know will all be attending the tour on 25th June all would have been pupils between 87 to 95. | |
| sCBoJoe Harrower | 09 April 2008 13:44:06 |
I am glad the end of an era event is taking place. Is there anyone else from the class of '74 attending? I wll be there and so will Eileen Reynolds | |

Hi as a former pupil with a lot of fond memories of St Modan's I would have love to come for the final tour but I'll be on holiday - are there any other tours planned? | |
| Tommy Kennedy | 28 March 2008 12:02:22 |
1959 to1964 Days never to be forgot. | |
| Samantha Moodie | 22 March 2008 17:24:47 |
This skool is thee bomb! The teachers and pupils are fantastic! | |
| liam griffin | 20 March 2008 21:50:10 |
I was a pupil at St. Modan's from 1960 till '64, with a short break of a year or so at St. Mary's Blairs. I cannot say "studied" at St.Modan's because despite the efforts of some great teachers, my head was usually under my wing, my wooly mind in cuckoo - land! Fitzi, I am pretty sure I knew you at school, and definitely "Sammy" Henderson, as I recall, said Sammy was a very good football player, as was Eddie O' Donnel, who played pro for Falkirk. | |
| Linda Letford | 13 March 2008 16:29:11 |
Hi guys, just having a walk down memory lane and thought I would leave a comment. I like the rest of the FP's can't believe that the old place will be torn down in the next few months. Spent 6 years at the place and still have fond memories! If the teachers read this then would like to say hi to my former lunch time badminton buddies (Stephen and Liam how you doing!) | |
| Barbara Butler | 06 March 2008 22:49:44 |
As a past student at St. Modans,1968 -1974, I would love to wander the corridors again before it closes. I have fond memories of the school and some of characters who were students alongside me. Blowing your fag smoke out of the 6th form common room thinking noone would notice. There were many teachers in that era who were both feared and idolised. Some were just plain nutcases who should never have been teaching children in the first place. These were the days you were belted for forgetting your apron in Domestic Studies-who needed one to boil an egg!! | |
| John A Fitzsimmons | 06 March 2008 12:16:09 |
I have just discovered this wonderful site. To say I am an old boy is putting it mildly. I attended this great school from 1958 to 1963. The rector in those days was the great Mr. Alan McCann who encouraged us all to succeed with compassion and wisdom. Mr. McCann's son Fergus bought Celtic Football Club at a time when the Hoops needed saving. I would love to hear from FPs of that time including Pat Murphy who tried to teach his colleagues the finer points of Cricket and is now a senior sports reporter on Five live. I would also through your site like to hear from any of the Kilsyth guys who visit this site. I could go on but will end not by refering to the teachers who had the thankless task of educating us but to the great friendships we had,namely Tommy Kennedy from Bonnybridge, Stewart (Sammy)Henderson from Denny and Barry ( Hovis) Brown from Stirling. The "End of an Era " sounds like a great event and I will do my best to attend. Best regards to all Fitzi | |
| MPJohn McLaughlin | 29 February 2008 17:20:21 |
Hi all, pupils and teachers alike, I was a student at the great St.Modans between 1989 - 93 and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed every last moment of my schooling. The Teachers and the Pupils were I must say the best people I have came into contact with in my life ( excluding relatives ). I used to be the treasurer for the St.Vincent De'Paul Society along with Tony Lai, Michael McKormack, John McNiven and David Loney, oh and Paul McLung. This was just one of the many organisations I was in which made the school. I also had numerous teachers whom I can mention and would appreciate if someone could E-Mail me and tell me if any are still there or god forbid any has perished in the past years!!. Here they are : | |
| Patrick Stirling | 28 February 2008 11:59:40 |
I just wanted to pass on to the school the sad news of the death of my younger brother Kevin Stirling. | |

a post from another "Old Boy" I have very fond memories of the 6 years spent there at the "Old School" volleyball, cross country with Corrieri,Docherty,Harrower, Kelly (Owen) Pollock,Kennedy,et al,Not forgetting the head of art, Sean Byrne who set me off on my career in interior design, what a truly guiding and thoughtful teacher.Parties,six foot high Oor Wullie on the wall of the common room, and gatecrashing "older" parties, them were the days. Now based in Glasgow and proprietor of an interior design practice/showroom, so,the art department IS an important part of life at St. Modans, enjoy it, and the new school looks fantastic, wonder what the interior will look like? | |
| Eddie Grattan S1 | 20 December 2007 19:43:11 |
This school is amazin. It is well better than Primary. The football team is well better 2 | |

| Alexander Conlan | 13 December 2007 18:15:14 |
Thanks for your reply. I am forwarding a copy of a school photograph taken in Coronation Year 1953 that I think may be of interest to you. I can remember some of the names if you need to put names to faces. I am second row up from front, fourth in from left. | |

Hey all, think the idea to have a former pupils blowout before the move is a great idea, spent 4 crazy years at the school and loved them all | |
| KERRIE =] | 01 December 2007 12:47:13 |
THE NEW SKL IS LOOKIN WAY NICE LYKZ XXXX | |
| Brenda | 27 November 2007 00:00:00 |

Caitlin, Photos of the PTA Findraising Disco will be posted on the website over the next couple of days. If any pupils have collections of digital photos taken at the disco and would like them posted, please give a copy to Mr O'Neill. | |
| Elaine | 24 November 2007 00:00:00 |
Closure of present school....How about a few open evenings (perhaps organised in decade groups) for former staff/pupils to enjoy a glass of wine and a wander round the old building? | |
| Shauna McMenemy S4 | 20 November 2007 00:00:00 |
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! PRELIMS in a few weeks lol xxxxxxxxxxx Greatest school eva | |
| Margaret Kennedy | 19 November 2007 00:00:00 |
Attended a parents evening tonight where interest in a dinner dance in June 2008 was being guaged and although I am not a former pupil, my in-laws and their relations are. As not everyone is internet friendly I suggest that for the more senior ex pupils an advertisement be placed in the Falkirk Herald and Cumbernauld and Kilsyth Chronicle as Kilsyth was in Stirling region then. I don't know what publications are available for the Hillfoots or whatever other catchment area the school had in the past but they should be considered too. Former pupils might not be fit enough to attend a dance but may appreciate an opportunity to visit the school. | |

Hi. I went to St Modans from 1990 until 1995 and it was a great school. My best teacher was Mr Sheerin - he made the classes fun. I'm sad the schools moving, but good luck everyone in the new school., | |
| Stan (Lewandowski) Hall | 07 November 2007 00:00:00 |
St Modan's 1965 - 67. I am in the process of joining forces with another ex pupil of the same era (Maggi Donnelly) to gather members of our class for a reunion. I am in Kent and Maggi is in Portugal. We are both keen to arrange something in Scotland, and when could be better than next year as you all change from old to new school. | |

Hiya everyone ! i used to go to st modans and enjoyed most of my days there! xxx i just left last november jst after finishing 4th year. My favourite teacher was Ms Campbell and my best subject was home economics and hospitality in 3rd and 4th year. xxx Iam now at college studying Hosptiality nd have a part time job in Greggs to pay for the nights out ! Just wanted to say a big thanks to all the pupils and teachers for making the 4 years of my life at St Modans the best ones! Through attending St Modans I have met some of my closest friends many of them have stayed on but we still keep in touch. Think thats enough for now. Byebye xxxxxxxx | |

I'm an ex-pupil of St.Modans from around 1993-1999, I had a great time and just want to say a big 'HI!' to any teachers who remember me and another hi to my brother Charles and sisters Linda and Fiona 'HI!'.

How Do You Get To LoOk At The Pictures Of Discos & That Now Cause it Comes Up A Mad WebSite :S x | |
| Bernadette McMenaman (now Smith) | 16 October 2007 00:00:00 |
Hi there! I attended St. Modans from around 1991 (I think) and loved every moment it - really is one of the best schools around! I loved art with Mrs McMenemy, have fab memories of PE with Mrs Miller and will never forget History with Mr Sheerin - he made it so great that I even became a History teacher at Bannockburn High school. Believe it or not my eldest daughter Robyn is now in S1 and I love the fact that so many of the old teachers are still there - hopefully she will experience the great times which I did. | |
| Steph jack(ex pupil) | 15 October 2007 00:00:00 |
Missin the school. Gutted we never got invited back to the senior dance last year! You let the team down on that one! And seeing as the class of 2000-20006 were clearly the worst there was, we deserve a picture on this thing. Mr Quigley, you are still a legend. I hope my brother is currently doing the Jack's proud | |
| Aileen Bristow | 02 October 2007 00:00:00 |
I have never encoutered such a caring, supportive encouraging school environment, in all areas. Lots of hard work but lots of fun times too with lots of positive results. Hopefully the new school will resonate with the same principles. Best wishes for new beginnings. | |
| Mairead Masterson | 26 September 2007 00:00:00 |
I'm really enjoying the school and I have made more friends here than at any other school. The teachers are very nice as well. | |
| Caitlin x | 26 September 2007 00:00:00 |
hiyah ... this is a great website xxxxxxxxxxxxxx | |
| Elaine (ex pupil) | 23 September 2007 00:00:00 |
love the idea of a huge ex pupil bash to celebrate the closure of the current site.... | |
| Caitlin Spence S1 | 02 September 2007 00:00:00 |
Hiyah xx I am really enjoying being at the school. It's well better than primary lol x :) | |
| E Hortin | 31 August 2007 00:00:00 |
I found this website whilst looking at schools in Scotland (because we might be relocating). The website is very informative, and the artwork by your pupils shown in the Gallery is amazing - you have very talented pupils! | |

| Hannah McQuillian | 21 August 2007 00:00:00 |
This is my first year at St.Modans and I love it so far! I think that the school is brilliant and it is so much better than primary!! | |
| Joseph(Joe) harrower | 20 August 2007 00:00:00 |
As an ex-pupil, in the seventies,and ex-head boy, I welcome the idea of a final extravaganza before the move to the new site. I have very fond memories of my time at St.Modans, particularly the extra-curricular activities. History and Running with Mr Shearer, Maths and table-tennis with Mr Lafferty, The PE dept headed up by Mr Black. The science faculty was inspirational particularly Miss Mc Monagle and Mrs Olzyck (sp) in biology. A great school and a great website. | |
| Edward McFarlane | 16 August 2007 00:00:00 |
Hi Malcolm glad to hear your doing well,Time flies huh | |
| Caitlin Spence | 16 August 2007 00:00:00 |
hiya xx cant wait till a go tae the school on monday :) xxx | |
| Bernard McGurk | 10 August 2007 00:00:00 |
As mentioned earlier, would be nice to have one big final bash for all ex pupils before you all finally pull out from the old location, | |
| Malcolm Corrigan | 04 August 2007 00:00:00 |
St. Modan's old boy aged 33, started August 1985. Favourite teacher was Mr Sheerin (History) Not so sure about location of new school, better off where it is now. Hi to anyone who remembers me. Now happily married with two children. Cheers!! | |
| John Hamilton | 25 July 2007 00:00:00 |
I agree with the "Old boy" also, as a 1970's ex pupil, I would love to visit the old Alma Mater one last time before they move it out and a huge FP extravaganza (Last Blast!) would be a fitting tribute to the school and all of the staff, past and present. | |
| Alex s2 | 17 July 2007 00:00:00 |
Stratford was fadabidosy - loved every second. Even the youth hostel was quite exciting. | |
| Debbie Riddles | 17 July 2007 00:00:00 |
I'm a former pupil of St Modans, I agree with St Modan's Old Boy! about having a party at the old school for the former pupils of St Modans as this is where we all learned our education. | |
| Allan Egan | 17 July 2007 00:00:00 |
I agree with St Modan's Old Boy! and Debbie. As it would be good to see everyone we used to go to school with again!! | |
| S2 Pupil | 02 July 2007 00:00:00 |
Duncan: I've just finished my 1st year and I only knew 8 people, there is honestly nothing to worry about, the teachers are lovely, well, most of them, and they'll sort out any problems you have. It's natural and understandable to be scared and worried. I was but everything's turned out to be fine | |
| Amanda Mc (S2) | 02 July 2007 00:00:00 |
Hey just sayin hiya to everybody. Hope your having a great summer holiday. cya x | |
| Duncan | 29 June 2007 00:00:00 |
I am just going to St Modan's and I am a little bit scared because I dont know anyone. I am exited as well so I don't know what to do. Help I am stuck between Alva and St Modan's. | |

Is There A School Disco On Monday | |
| Editor | 18 June 2007 00:00:00 |
Sorry Darren - No disco on Monday! The final disco for the year was just prior to the Easter break. A disco was initially planned for Monday but this was replaced by the PTA disco organised late last term to celebrate the re-opening of the Assembly Hall. Discos are now being booked for next session. More details will be posted on this website nearer the time. | |
| Edward McFarlane | 16 June 2007 00:00:00 |
Hi there, I went to St Modans in the early 90's. Now I live in America. Sad to hear they are moving the school. Oh well progress I guess. I will be back over in couple of weeks and will try and check it out before the move. Hopefully not too late. Just wanted to say thanks to all the staff for their great work. | |
| Agatha p7 | 14 June 2007 00:00:00 |
After the summer I am coming to St Modans. Can 't wait to meet you | |
| Romy. P7 | 14 June 2007 00:00:00 |
Hi everyone . I am coming to the school soon with my best friends Shannon and Agatha. | |
| Shannon P7 | 14 June 2007 00:00:00 |
Hiya I cant wait to come to St Modans. My Cousins Christopher and Calene already go to St Modan's. Can't wait to be up there with them too. Also coming up with Agatha and Romy. | |
| Shan-Rose Brown | 14 June 2007 00:00:00 |
Hello - Interesting that you are moving! I went to St Modans in the early 60's. 1964? I was Patricia Brown at that time. My twin sister Ann attended also. Mr McCann was the headmaster. I played hockey for the 1st eleven. I have travelled back and forth from Australia where I live now and always looked on St Modans in a nice nostalgic way. | |
| Kevin Cunningham | 13 June 2007 00:00:00 |
Awryt school. Hope the school isn't missing me too much | |
| Bex | 12 June 2007 00:00:00 |
I would like to say congratulations to Mr McGeehan with gettin the new Depute Head Teacher. He will be great. Hopefully he will move on to being head teacher. I believe he would be great at head teacher :D xxx | |
| Craig Walls 2.6 | 11 June 2007 00:00:00 |

| Rebecca McFarlane | 09 June 2007 00:00:00 |
Hey there, missing the school tragically. Seriously was an amazing 6 years that will be tres hard to better!! | |
| St Modan's Old Boy! | 07 June 2007 00:00:00 |
Hello St Modan's. Here's a thought for you - why don't you organise a great big party for all ex-pupils to celebrate the last year in the old building. Perhaps a disco suitable for the young and old with music from each of the 7 decades since the school opened. I think I know a few who would like to be there! | |
| The Editor | 07 June 2007 00:00:00 |
Thank you 'St Modan's Old Boy'! St Modan's would be delighted to hear suggestions from anyone associated with the school regarding ways to celebrate past times spent in the current building. | |

I attended St. Modans in the 80's, I can't believe that some of my teachers are still there! Shame the school is moving, such a large part of my younger years. | |
| Elaine & James ( Ex - Pupils ) | 14 April 2007 00:00:00 |
Well its just to let you know that we miss most of you guys - Mr Quigley and Mrs Murray we miss you too most! But honestly Mr McAvoy is a true genius - you should take note of what he says folks. | |
| Editor | 14 April 2007 00:00:00 |
There are no further discos planned for this session. The next one is planned for after the Summer holidays. Worth waiting for though! | |
| Anjie Brereton | 10 April 2007 00:00:00 |
Hya all. I went to St.Modans in the late 70s. I loved it, had a great laugh & learnt a lot . I had to travel from Denny so my favourite time was the winter when our school bus couldn't get through the snow and had to go home . My favourite teacher of all time was Mr Shearer for history . And dont run in the corridors I ended up with a WHOPPER of a black eye when I crashed into someone - not that I was eager to get to my next class. It was 3.30 on a Friday and running for my bus. Have FUN all of you xxx love Anjie Brereton | |
| Blair Stewart, pupil | 07 April 2007 00:00:00 |
This truly is a smashing school. That guy, Mr. Kelly, gave me a loan of his Beatles CD. Smashing chap. | |

As St Modans most memorable ever pupil, who wore a Santa suit to school in the middle of October and was known on nickname terms by most teachers, aswell as the scorer of the football team's best-ever goal, I deserve at least a photo on the page! if someone from the school can get in touch I will be happy to send one! Also, please show this to Mr McAvoy, Mr Quigley and Mr McGeehan and let them know that they are all legends!! | |
| Kayleigh S1 | 20 December 2006 00:00:00 |

I also like the school because of all the friends I have made. One of my best friends is David Cook and he is one of my best friends because he is funny. I also like the heads. | |
| Peter (ex-pupil) | 22 November 2006 00:00:00 |
It's a real pity that last year's S6 pupils cannot attend this years Senior Dance because of the new venue but great that the fire didn't result in the event being cancelled. It's a great night and will be really good in the castle. I hope all the fifth and sixth year's make the most of it and have a brill time. | |

I hope the school looks better soon and I'm glad there was nobody was hurt | |

Same here, but why any1 would set the school on fire is beyond me | |
| Peter B | 12 November 2006 00:00:00 |
Nobody set the school on fire. I heard It was an electrical fault - old wires etc. I think that's much more likely. | |
| Grant Gilfillan | 12 November 2006 00:00:00 |
Glad no one was hurt. Shame about the hall. | |
| Duffy | 11 November 2006 00:00:00 |

Thank you to all those who made suggestions for the name of the new school road at our site in Forthbank. Suggestions have now been collated and will be passed to the School Board who will make recommendations to Stirling Council on our behalf. | |
| Dominic Muir | 07 October 2006 00:00:00 |
