Just a few observations about this picture. Look closely at it and you will notice that - with the exception of the girl in the white blouse, all the other 17 kids look roughly the same age - I would say 9 or 10. This suggests they are from the same class (year). Yet the sign they are holding just refers just to the school. Were there several other pictures of different years/classes were the kids had not missed a day off?

They are certainly dressed in their 'Sunday Best' for the occaision - the lads' boots are well shined - but whether this was a sunday school job is somewhat speculative.
