Over 600 attended the two morning sessions as P6/ P7 pupils from schools throughout the city and county participated in a wide range of activities and experiments as well as numerous competitions throughout the school.
St. Columb’s was founded in 1879 and is the oldest and largest Catholic Grammar School in Derry with the unique distinction in Ireland of being the alma mater of two Nobel Laureates.
Principal, Mrs. Caroline McLaughlin delivered her address to a packed assembly hall, assisted by Aaron O’Doherty, Head Boy and Year 8 student Christian Ferguson. Visiting parents and pupils were also entertained by the school’s Music Department.
Mrs. McLaughlin said there was still an option to come and view the school at a later date by contacting St. Columb’s on 02871 28500 or email [email protected]
