• ODD SOCKS DAY, MONDAY 15TH NOVEMBER

  Fri 12 Nov 2021

  Odd Socks Day is part of Anti-Bullying Week! To celebrate that we are all unique, we are asking everyone to wear odd socks to school on Monday 15th November.

   

  WHY IS ODD SOCKS DAY IMPORTANT? The day sends an important message that we should all be allowed to be ourselves free from bullying and helps us celebrate Anti-Bullying Week in a fun and positive way. 

   

  Donations to NI Anti-Bullying Forum may be made in the Payments section on SchoolMoney.

   

  We can't wait to see all your odd socks on Monday!

   

  Many thanks for your support!

• PTA FUNDRAISER - TOTE BAGS

  Thu 11 Nov 2021

  Our brilliant PTA have organised a tote bag fundraiser. 

   

  All the children have drawn an image of their likeness which will be printed on the tote bags. Bags will cost £5 each and they would hope to have them back in time for Christmas - would be a nice stocking filler for family members and a lovely keepsake! 

   

  Tote Bags are available to purchase through the Shop on SchoolMoney. 

   

  As you know, our PTA are limited in how they can fundraise at the moment so we hope to have a great response and appreciate any support you can give. 

   

  Many thanks for your support 🤗
