  • Netball Success

    Published 27/02/26

    Our netballers enjoyed a fantastic day on the court at the Leisure Centre as they took part in the Netball Northern Ireland Tournament. 🏐

     

    We brought along two teams who played a number of competitive matches throughout the day. Both teams embraced the opportunity to test out new positions, build confidence and gain valuable match experience. Our A team stormed through their games, showing real dominance and teamwork against their opposition. 💪

     

    The toughest (and most exciting!) match of the day came when the girls faced each other — with the B team claiming victory and, of course, the bragging rights! 😄

     

    A huge well done to all the players for their effort, attitude and sportsmanship — and a special mention to our fantastic captains, Fiadh and Myla, for leading their teams so brilliantly. 👏✨

    Published 18/02/26

    Wagging tails and happy hearts! 🐾

     

    Today was a super exciting day for our wonderful therapy-dog-in-training, Willow! We had a very special visit from Rach at Paws Dog Therapy Training, who came to school to help Willow and her team. 

     

    Rach was absolutely delighted with Willow’s progress! She gave a big "paws up" to our amazing handlers—Mrs Oakes, Ms Mulvenna, and Mr Robinson—who have been working so hard to learn all the special skills. We are one giant paw-step closer on this amazing journey! 🐶✨

     

    Lá fíorspeisialta a bhí ann inniu nuair a tháinig Rach le hamharc ar Willow agus an fhoireann. Tá sí iomlán sásta leis an dhul chun cinn atá déanta go dtí seo. 🐾 🌟

    We ended Children’s Mental Health Week in the best way with Hot Chocolate Friday ☕️🍫

     

    The children absolutely loved taking time to slow down, enjoy a cosy treat and read the positive affirmations on their cups. Such a simple idea, but it really showed how little things can make a big difference to how we feel.

     

    A huge thank you to our PTA for funding this lovely treat and helping us finish the week on such a happy, calm note. The smiles said it all 💛💚✨

     

    Go raibh míle maith agaibh leis an PTA as an seacláid te inniu! Bhain na páistí an-sult as na dearbhuithe dearfacha ar na cupáin agus as an bomaite ciúin le chéile -mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí ✨
