Stories From the Archives – A History of Barbreck

An excerpt from the 125 Celebration Service, Thursday 4 February 2021.
“Our memories as young people leave an indelible mark. That’s what Barbreck is to those who travelled through its corridors – a warm embrace, a familiar smell, a comforting reassurance.
Like Sherran House, Barbreck is a much loved building which has been a key part of the heartbeat of our School and a core part of our School community.
Barbreck was purchased by the School in 1948 and has gone through two major incarnations since then – in 1972 and in 2017-2018.”
