A Brief History
Toonagh School dates back to 1845 when it
was built by the local Landlord. It's beautiful stone building served
the community as a local school until 1966.The present school was
originally built as a two-teacher school and it was extended in 1973
following the closure of Dysart National School and further
refurbishment of the school took place in 1984. In 1998 a playing pitch
was donated by the Whelan Family and developed in 2002 and further
renovations took place in 2000. In 2001, a Basketball Court was added to
our facilities at the School.
In 2007, with the appointment of a 4th Teacher, a classroom and a
General Purpose/Computer Room was completed. The appointment of a 5th
classroom teacher, led to the construction of an additional classroom
and an internal corridor in the school. The school playing pitch was
converted to an all-weather playing facility in September, 2016
following a large fundraising drive by the parents in the school.
Over the years our school has developed into a large modern primary
school. The educational facilities in the school, which are of a very
high standard, are continuously monitored to ensure that they are in
line with recent developments in education.
