One of the largest and oldest schools in Northern Ireland is joining forces with the NHS to help staff in a hospital that will treat most coronavirus patients in Belfast.
St Malachy's College is a Catholic grammar school for boys that opened in 1833. The Mater Hospital has been designated as the main treatment centre for coronavirus patients in Belfast.
The school and hospital sit side by side in the city. They have a shared history. Both were opened by the Catholic Church and share the Bishop of Down and Connor as a trustee.
They will soon also have a shared present. The school is handing over its premises to the NHS for use as showering and changing facilities for hospital staff. "The good thing is that we have two changing areas,"
