The Holy Child College Old Girls Association 1979 – 1984 has donated a sum of N500,000 to the Society of the Holy Child Jesus (SHCJ), to commemorate its 40th anniversary. 

The association also donated a 75″ Smart Screen television to the school hall and bags of rice to members of staff. 

Tagged ‘Back to School’, the programme was marked with a lot of fanfare which brought together old school mates and renewed the scholastic value the institution is made of.

The president of the association, Mrs. Helen Irumudomon, explained that 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, we will continue to render the little we have to the goose that laid our golden eggs,” she said.

The president, who expressed excitement about the programme, noted that nothing could be too big as a gift for their alma mater. 

She encouraged 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,” she said.
