HOLY Child Primary School in Andersonstown is celebrating after unveiling their new handball wall.

The new facility was officially opened by Lord Mayor Róis-Máire Donnelly, who cut the ribbon, and it was blessed by St Agnes' parish priest Fr Raymond McCullagh.

Holy Child Primary School Principal Conor Murphy said: "It is a special day for Holy Child Primary School. We are delighted with this new facility which has really modernised our playground area.

"It is a great opportunity for children to extend their play and develop their skills for many years to come.

"Holy Child has a very long tradition of Gaelic games and this new facility will allow this tradition to continue to develop and flourish.

"It will also encourage children to be active, improve their fitness, build resilience and confidence and support their health and wellbeing through sport and physical activity.

"I want to thank everyone involved in the project, including our PTA who have helped turn a vision into a reality."

Fiona Shannon from Ulster GAA added: "The wall is amazing and is a major asset to the school. It is my dream that every school will get facilities like this.

"Holy Child have been great ambassadors for Gaelic games and we are delighted they now have their new handball wall."
