5th & 6th year LCA students, who kindly donated an 11ft metal outdoor Christmas tree to the Barrack Hill Town Park & Community Gardens Carndonagh. Pictured are some of the LCA students with LCA Co-ordinator Breda Doherty, Mr. Devlin, and Committee members. This is 1 of 10 trees made by the LCA students. The trees were sold at the Christmas fair in the school in December. This project comes under the heading of partnership, numeracy, literacy , attendance and attainment.  

They spoke with relatives of those who were killed on Bloody Sunday, gaining personal insights into one of the most significant and tragic events of the Troubles. They handled the different types of bullets used during the conflict and hear reports of key historical moments.

Visits to buildings associated with the Siege of Derry and Bloody Sunday offered further context to the city’s divided history and enriched the students’ grasp of its complex heritage.

Students completed surveys before and after the trip where many stated that actually visiting the sites that they learn about in class brought a greater awareness of what happened during key events in the history of Derry. They also believed it was informative to hear the personal stories from relatives who lost family members during the Troubles.
