  • Sacrament of Confirmation

    Published 04/06/26

    Today was a truly special day for our Primary 7 pupils as they received the Sacrament of Confirmation, surrounded by their families, sponsors, teachers, and friends.

     

    A heartfelt thank you to Fr Eugene for leading the celebration and confirming our wonderful children. We are incredibly proud of the reverence, maturity, and enthusiasm they showed throughout this important milestone in their faith journey.

     

    We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to our Primary 7 teachers, Mrs Watson and Mrs Vance, along with all our classroom assistants, for their dedication and support in preparing the children for this special day.

     

    A special thank you also goes to Mrs Madine and our P6 choir for helping to make the celebration so memorable.

     

    Congratulations to all of our Primary 7 pupils. You are a credit to yourselves, your families, and our school community.

  • Primary 4's Assembly

    Published 18/05/26

    🌟 What a beautiful day of celebration! 🌟

     

    On Friday, Mrs Oakes’ wonderful P4 class hosted a truly special class assembly. The children spoke so beautifully about the importance of receiving the Eucharist for the very first time, sharing lovely reflections on why this is such a meaningful milestone in our lives and a true celebration of our love for Jesus. 🙏✨

     

    But that wasn’t all! We wrapped up our assembly with the most spectacular fashion show. The children had the best time modeling their fancy suits and gorgeous dresses, lighting up the room with their massive smiles!

     

    It was the most perfect, joyful way to finish off such a memorable week.

  • P6 Gaelic Success

    Published 09/05/26

    We were delighted to celebrate the success of three very special Primary 6 pupils - Mary, Áodhan and Caolan - today! ⭐🏐

     

    Last weekend, they had the fantastic opportunity to play at half-time during the Down vs Armagh Ulster Championship game in Clones alongside their teammates from Ardglass All-Stars. What an unforgettable experience and an incredible achievement for them all!

     

    It may not have been Down’s finest day on the pitch… but at least some Down players were bringing home silverware thanks to our pupils! 🏆😄

     

    We are so proud and loved hearing all about their exciting day. Well done Mary, Áodhan and Caolan! 💚💛
