Invitation To All- To Launch of Anniversary Book

Coláiste Chríost Rí is about to launch a comprehensive account of its history in a new book to commemorate its 50th anniversay. The publication which contains over 800 photographs of school life throughout the decades will be launched by past-student Minister Micheál Martin on Friday 13th November at 7:30pm in the school's newly built sports complex.

The contents of the book have been carefully selected from the school’s archives and also contains newspaper clippings and articles from former pupils, teachers and Principals. It will be sold on the night of the launch and in book stores throughout the city for €15. The school is encouraging all past-students and staff, their families and others associated with the school to come along on the evening for a historical night out.
To coincide with the book launch, a large photographic exhibition will also be on display in the school. Organised by decade, pictures depicting the 'Secondary Top' in Scoil Chríost Rí in the 1950's right up to images of the present day will be displayed and are sure to provide subject matter to enable past-pupils from each decade to reconnect and reminisce.
The Coláiste Chriost Rí Past-Pupils Union will also be re-launched on the night and will be selling tickets to a gala 50th anniversary dinner to be held on the 12th February 2010.
