What a lovely afternoon at the Christmas Fair... and what a crowd! Thank you to our PTA for organising and  to everyone who helped in any way  ... to all who manned stalls, donated items, prepared games and art activities, rolled tombola tickets, made decorations, baked cakes, created yummy treats, helped on stalls, Santa and all who helped to set up and tidy the hall afterwards.  

And a huge thank you to all who came along...many thanks for your continued support. We’re sure you are in the festive spirit now!

Whole school assembly today to find out all about what our School Council does and to meet our new School Council representatives from Primary 4 to Primary 7. We wish them a busy and productive year as they provide a voice for all the children in our school. Well done to everyone who presented mandates and stood for election as well as a big thank you to our outgoing School Council members for their work last year.

We are delighted to be a drop off point for the North Coast Socks Appeal. North Coast Socks Appeal has one simple mission - to provide enough warm socks over winter for homeless shelters in Northern Ireland. The appeal runs until 18th December. It's a very simple kind gesture asking for one pair of new warm socks per household.

A big thank to Stephanie who popped into school to drop off our appeal poster.

You can find our collection box at reception. Many thanks for your support.

It was school council elections for Primary 4 - Primary 7 this afternoon. Pupils voted for their class representatives based on their manifestos presented over the past week.What a busy afternoon! Counting is currently underway and we expect to announce our new school council soon.

Please continue to save your unwanted textiles for us and bring to school in the new year.
