Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel 2023 – Well done to everyone who took part in the Big Walk & Wheel 2023. We had a total of 1500 journeys recorded. The winning class with the most journeys made was Mrs Harkin’s Primary 3 class. Well done Primary 3! We would encourage as many children to walk to and from school as the weather gets better in our last term. If your child is walking to school, please ensure that they wear a high viz vest at all times and they are made aware of the proper places to cross the roads on their route to/from school.
School Disco – Thanks to the Parents & Friends’ Association and staff for organising and attending the ‘Easter Disco’ on Saturday 1st April, a special word of thanks to those parents who volunteered for the first time. Thanks to DJ Gabriel for once again making the evening an enjoyable and memorable night for all.
Birthday Parties –Parents are reminded that the school plays no part in the delivery of invitations for children’s birthday parties during the school day. May we please ask that as you plan your child’s birthday party to take into consideration the feelings of that one boy/girl who has been omitted from the party!
