Everyone at Holy Child Primary School were today more than a little sad to say goodbye to our favourite and long serving librarian John Campbell. John has been a valuable member of the Creggan community for 45 years and will be solely missed by all.

Our P7 children accompanied by Mrs Cullen presented John with cards and gifts from all the children today as well as his very own ‘2021 Leaver’ hoodie.

We wish John a happy, healthy, long retirement

Today we had our P7 Graduation. Traditionally our Primary Seven children, their parents, friends and staff of Holy Child would have joined together to celebrate their time here from Nursery to today - eight years! Many of us will be wondering where the years have gone! This year we may have said goodbye differently but our sadness to see you go remains.

Boys and girls you have all changed so much in that time, gone are the shy babies who joined us just aged 3, today you have become confident, caring, bright young people. It has been my delight to witness this change and I want to thank each one of you for the contribution you have made to our Holy Child family. I know you understand that your graduation and party has to wait because you are all resilient and strong, you have shown this many times but particularly over the last few difficult months - I and all the staff here are so very proud of you all. 

When I started to think about what I could write about your time here I realised there are so many many memories I can recall but you can check them out below and I hope they bring as big a smile to your face as it did to mine.

Enjoy today, visit us often remember you are always part of the Holy Child Primary School family and always remember 'Don't just fly - soar.' 

 I want to hear great things about you all,

Mrs Cullen
