PAST and present staff and students came together last Saturday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of the primary school in Llanfarian.

Ysgol Gymunedol Llanfarian was officially opened on Friday, 28 June 1968, and to celebrate the milestone, the school held a party and event featuring a display of the history of the school.

Special guests for the event included local county councillor Alun Lloyd Jones and former school headteachers Anthony Evans and Delyth McDonald.

A special cake was made to mark the event by Lauren Davies.
