An association of erstwhile students of Holy Child College in Lagos have donated comestibles to the school to mark it’s 40th anniversary.
The donors who were students of the school from 1979 till 1984 donated bags of rice to members of staff of the school in commemoration of the event tagged ‘Back to School’.
In addition, a Smart Screen Television was also donated to be used in the school hall alongside the sum of N500,000 which was given to the school’s Society of the Holy Child Jesus, SHCJ.
Helen Irumudomon, President of the group, Holy Child College Old Girls Association, HCCOGA, recalled back to school days and said: “40 years is not a joke in the life of a school. It becomes necessary for us to regroup at this period to give back to an institution that laid the foundation of our academic sojourn and life successes.
“I don’t think there is anyone who has passed through this school that has ever regretted it. We are happy that the members of 1979-1984 set are not taken aback and we will continue to render the little we have to the goose that laid our golden eggs.”
She continued saying: “Nothing is too big as gift for the old school. I encourage other sets that had passed through the school not to forget their Alma mater.
“We call on our juniors and seniors who have passed through here to also make donations so that the school and the products from there will continue to be good examples.”
