Well done to everyone who walked, cycled or scooted to school today!
There were so many bicycles at school we ran out of stands for them! But we're not complaining - great effort everyone! Let's see if we can get even more walkers, scooters and cyclists tomorrow.
Don't forget our 'Walking Buses' are leaving Manina and The Warren each morning at 8.40am SHARP!
Thanks for your support our Translink Eco-Schools Travel Challenge!

Well done to everyone who walked, cycled or scooted to school today!
We're participating in the Translink Eco-Schools Travel Challenge as part of achieving our prestigious Eco-Schools Green Flag award. This is a fantastic opportunity for our school to work towards becoming more environmentally sustainable by reducing carbon emissions caused by traffic and is a positive step towards reducing car congestion around the school. It is also a healthy and sociable option for our pupils.
Pupils are encouraged to use more sustainable travel modes – mainly walk/cycle/bus/train – instead of car travel. In addition to Eco-Schools awards, classes and pupils who show the greatest change towards sustainable transport use will also be rewarded by Translink with cash and travel prizes.
You can walk, scoot or cycle to school. Why not hop on one of the 'Walking Buses' leaving Manina and The Warren each morning at 8.40am SHARP!
We hope you will support our Translink Eco-Schools Travel Challenge!

We were lucky again this year with the weather for our Big Spring Clean of our school grounds. THANK YOU to our volunteers who came to help pick up litter, weed, repair the greenhouse, decorate stones for our garden and plant vegetable seeds. Great work everyone! We're sure you all slept well on Friday night!
THANK YOU! to Four Star Pizza Portstewart who provided pizza for our volunteers at our Big Spring Clean on Friday evening... DELICIOUS!!
A huge thank you to everyone who helped to organise the Bingo Night, everyone who came along and all our sponsors who donated prizes. It was a great evening and raised £280 for PTA funds. Many thanks for your continued support.
It's St. Colum's Big Spring Clean!
Come along and help us clean up our school grounds this evening, 5:30pm-7pm!
Looking forward to Spring Cleaning our school grounds.... litter picking, greenhouse repairs, weeding, planting and some garden art.
Please bring a gardening spade or fork and gloves(if you have them) as we have a limited number of gardening tools. Litter pickers and refuse sacks will be provided.
Remember to come prepared for the weather.... wellies and coats or sunscreen.
All children should be accompanied by a parent.
