• Talent Spotting!

  Sat 05 Mar 2016

  Fancy yourself as the next Voice contestant or star of the next major talent show? Well here’s your chance to show what you’re made of!

  Here at St. Colum’s we’re working alongside a local recording studio to create and record a CD boasting the talents of our school – both past and present, young and… well ‘not-so-young’ – and we’d love you, or your group, to be on it!

  The CD is set to be on sale in May 2016, so if you think YOU could be on a track, please give us a shout or drop in.

  In the meantime… get practising your autograph!

  What a great time Primary 1 and Primary 2 had today as we celebrated World Book Day! We dressed up as characters from our favourite book, we had a parade in the hall for the whole school and Primary 6 and Primary 7 came to read some stories with us.
  .... how many characters can you spot?
