Julia was a beautiful, strong and selfless young woman. She genuinely exuded our ethos and values in all she did and she will be sorely missed by her friends and our staff alike. We feel truly blessed to have known Julia, and we only wish it had been for longer ❤️

28 children walked through the door of Lagan College in 1981, set against a backdrop of political disagreement and social unrest. Their parents made a courageous decision to educate 14 Catholic and 14 Protestant children together. We will think of these 28 children today.
