We met with Emmit, part of the S.P.U.C group and asked him a few questions on what the S.P.U.C are and when they were established. He told us “They were founded in 1967 after the abortion act had gained momentum. A lot of supporters were spurred on at the fact that abortion could be performed at the early stage of life, even at 4 weeks. That’s excluding ‘the morning after’ pill. You are human from the moment you enter the womb until the moment you are in the ground.” He told us about why he came to St. Aidans and he said “Whn I was in school I didn’t have ‘speaker’ as such, and its good to have an ‘outsider’ come in and be brutally honest.”

Pupils from all years celebrated mass last Friday with Father Sean Wyllie, a former pupil who recently became ordained. The mass was seen as very special to many pupils. Family members of Father Wyllie also celebrated the mass. Mr Connarty (Former English teacher and pupil support teacher of Father Wyllie) remembers Sean fondly from his days at St Aidan’s and commented “He was always a popular boy who made a great contribution to the school and i’m sure he will also in his new role.” The music department played a key role in the class. Mr Kennedy alongside  Mr Johnston led the choir and the band in harmony.
