• Carol Singing - Kings Castle & Eurospar

  Our wonderful Primary 7 pupils led by our music coordinator Mrs Mullan were out and about yesterday in the local community spreading the festive spirit.

   

  They visited Kings Castle nursing home in Ardglass and Eurospar and had a great time reciting festive carols for everyone. The Eurospar also very kindly gave each child in the school a lovely selection box which may not last until Christmas day!

  

• Beauty and the Beast Pantomime - Waterfront Hall

  Fri 14 Dec 2018

  Yesterday the whole school headed for the Waterfront Hall in Belfast to see Beauty and the Beast in pantomime. It was a brilliant show with lots of fun characters and plenty of audience participation. The boys and girls laughed and cheered throughout and everyone agreed it was the perfect way to celebrate after all the hard work involved in preparing for our own Christmas Plays.

• Shoe Share Success

  Mon 03 Dec 2018

  Our recent Shoe Share collection for UNICEF was a huge success with hundreds of old and unwanted shoes being brought into school for this amazing cause.

   

  The shoes were delivered to Clarks shoes who will in turn donate money to UNICEF to help children around the world to be able to go to school. Special thanks goes to Mrs Mullan, our wonderful school council, digital leaders and P7 helpers who organised and collected shoes from around the classes and Mr and Mrs Sands for kindly delivering the shoes to Belfast.
