Year 7 presented an Anti-Bullying Assembly to Mr John McCusker who visited our school to carry out a survey on the ‘preventative curriculum’.

They explained about the different types of bullying and strategies to deal with difficult situations.They outlined the ways in which St.Columba’s are pro active and use as many ways as possible to make sure that we keep our school free from bullying.

Article 14 ‘Every child has the right to freedom of thought,belief and religion’

The Derry Catechetical Centre provided us with a four day online series of Confirmation Preparation Sesions to help us prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. This  is a very special time in the faith journey of our Year 7 Pupils and we learned so much this week.

In Confirmation the Year 7 Pupils will receive the Holy Spirit who  will guide them in their journey to and through adulthood.

The sessions were led by Therese Ferry and Mary but Bishop Donal McKeown, Fr Paul Farren along with other special guests made appearances during the week to lead us in prayer or share their experiences with us.

We thank all involved in this excellent programme.
