Christ the King staff take the plunge for Paul

IT was high spirits and even higher drops last Sunday, October 12, as the fearless staff from Christ the King Primary School in Omagh took a literal leap of faith - abseiling their way down the Europa Hotel in Belfast in memory of their much-loved caretaker, Paul Corrigan.

Scaling down walls may not be in the average school job description, but for Irene, Roisin (principal), Noelle, Angela, Kellie, and Maeve, it was all in a day’s work and tumbleday!

With a sky-high sense of courage and community, the team showed that when it comes to honouring Paul, they’re always on the up and up.

The brave bunch were cheered on by a huge crowd of colleagues, friends, and members of the Corrigan family - a groundbreaking support team who made sure nobody was left hanging!

To date, the daring descent has helped raise a staggering total of just over £7,600 -proving that the only thing falling that day was fear, not generosity.

But the adventure isn’t over yet! The final fundraising event takes place this Saturday, when supporters will take a hike (literally!) up Mullaghcarn. The walk kicks off from the top car park at 9.30am sharp - so lace up those boots and get ready to climb new heights for a wonderful cause.

Together, the Christ the King community and the Corrigan family have truly shown that love, laughter, and a little altitude can go a long way.

After all - Paul might have kept their feet on the ground, but this team is proving his spirit still helps them reach for the sky.
