Pupil Achievement

24th Jun 2025

Yesterday marked the final day for P7 (Class of 2025). A very emotional and enjoyable day for all was had. First off, the children had a lovely Leavers' Mass, followed by a beautiful Leavers' Ceremony, whereby the children watched a video compilation of all their best memories since Nursery at Holy Child. There was hardly a dry eye in the room. The P7 pupils then played together at the Bouncy Castle, before doing their infamous final walk out of the school entrance. Having said our farewells, we wished the children the best for their future. Good luck and God bless you all, P7A. Don't forget about us too soon!

What a day we had today.
P7 classes challenged each other to a football match.
P7 A won 5 -1. Some very  silky skills and some unbelieveable goalkeeping.
This was followed by an Al Fresco breakfast for an hour.
Then preparation work in the hall for Mass and Graduation on Monday 23 rd June our last day in Holy Child PS
Afternoon was wet and wild with water games and a water fight which the Principal and Vice principal joined in on.
What a day of memories.
Roll on Monday.

P4, P5 and P6 enjoyed a fantastic experience today playing various badminton tournaments in their class groups at the main school playground. They developed their teamwork and service skills in badminton together, and showed a great deal of fun and fair play. It was very enjoyable for all involved, especially the champion 'shuttlers' of each class. A special thanks to Shea McCarthy and Max Nicell, who helped out setting up the equipment and umpiring the games. Well done, everyone!

P7 pupils today enjoyed a wonderful, well-organized and deeply holy ''Fan the Flame'' Ceremony at Celtic Park. With countless other schools, the P7s did our community proud, by graciously participating in the mass and singing along with the hymns. They flew the flags, did the procession around the large pitch with other schools, and were a credit in showing reverence and manners to all they encountered. As Bishop McKeown reminded us, these children are 'the light of the world and salt of the earth.' The P7 classes from Holy Child certainly proved that today. Well done, boys and girls!
