for producing Sea Captains.  Many ex-pupils of the school have reached high positions in society.  They include

William Jones MP and Captain Neville Riley who was Master of the Blue Star Line the "Brisbane Star" during Operation Pedestal in 1942. Also the famous surgeon Mr. Oliver attended Park school,  Professor Bryan Roberts who was appointed Chairman of Anaesthesiology at Wright State University School of Medicine, Dayton, Ohio, USA.,  Dr. Ken Roberts and Dr. Tudor Lloyd are also amongst the former pupils of the school. 
    The Master informed the board on 8th September 1891 that two of the school's pupils namely William Griffith and Arthur Bell had gained a scholarship to Beaumaris Grammar School (the only source of secondary education on the island) and that they had gone to see him on that day to say goodbye - a very proud moment.
    The school was opened on 19th March 1877.  Headmaster of the boys' department was Mr. Owen Roberts, whilst that of the girls department was Miss Parry of Tyddyn Bach, and in charge of the Infants' department was 20 year old Miss Mary Jane Jones.  Miss Parry was succeeded my Miss Margaret Evans.  All three heads remained at the school until their retirement.  Miss Gladys M. P. Jones was appointed Headmistress in 1924, and she remained there until her new appointment to Cybi School in 1929.  Miss H. G. Williams succeeded her, and remained at the school until 1948.
    In those times the head of each department were the only qualified teachers at the school.  They were helped  by "pupil teachers", candidates and monitors - usually in their teenage years and possessing very little academic knowledge.  The schools' log books between the years of 1877 to 1911 refer to pupil teachers and monitors being taught by masters and mistresses during out of school hours in both academic knowledge and teaching techniques.  Monitors were paid £5 per annum, and pupil teachers about £10 per annum and only rising to £14 p.a. after 4 years.  This would rise to £25 p.a. after the completion of 5 years in the occupation.  The headmasters and mistresses salaries were based on the quality of results and on the average school attendance.
    The headmaster would write daily in the school log book.  He would often write about local events, and sometimes some amusing stories.  The masters' were very much more in control of their schools, than they are nowadays, as they weren't required to account to any official bodies when
