HOT OFF THE PRESS!
Wed 09 Jun 2021Look what arrived today! Our 85th Anniversary Yearbook - hot off the press! Did they know it was our birthday?!!
Looking forward to starting to deliver them next week. Order your copy now from THE SHOP on SchoolMoney at a cost of £10 per copy.
The publication traces the history of the school, featuring articles from past pupils from every decade since the school was opened in 1936. All current St. Colum’s students are featured and an insight into what each class gets up to throughout the year.
This special anniversary publication coincides with a most unusual year in terms of lockdown and remote learning - certainly a year to remember!
With usual PTA fundraising activities limited this year due to the pandemic, the yearbook is our main means of raising funds for the school.
Order your copy from THE SHOP on SchoolMoney, call the office 02870833010 or message our page.
Many thanks for your continued support.
