Today was 'International Day of Play'! Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child states that every child has the right to play. Our boys and girls celebrated today by participating in the 'Play 31 Challenge'. That meant 31 extra minutes of play time. Each class was also set the challenge of getting creative and making the number 31 within play.
The Department of Education NI has released the following image which gives some advice on how many hours of sleep are required for each age group, and things to avoid before bed. Getting plenty of good quality sleep can really help your child with their learning!

Leaving school at 8:25am, with 3 pick-up stops along the way (see attached poster for details).

Today, we shared some fantastic news with our P3–P6 pupils — next academic year, we’ll be staging a whole-school production of Annie! 🌟
The performances will take place in February 2027, with 2–3 ticketed shows for families and friends to enjoy. We’re so excited to give our pupils the chance to shine and showcase their many talents!
🎤 Auditions
Open auditions will be held in school on Monday 1st June for anyone who would like to take part. Pupils will:
- Sing “It’s a Hard Knock Life” in groups
- Perform a short set of lines and act these out
Parents/guardians, we’d love your support—please help your child practise the song, encourage them to audition, and maybe enjoy watching the Annie movie together over the incoming weeks! 🎬
🎶 Rehearsals will begin in September 2026.
We can’t wait to bring this wonderful show to life and perform for you all! 💛
Well done to everyone who entered our recent Earth Day competition!
Our corridor is glowing with all of these fantastic entries.
If your child is off, you MUST provide us with a reason why - as a school, we have a duty to know reasons for absence and monitor these.
Your pupil must only be off for a valid reason - sickness, appointment, something agreed with Principal/ Vice-Principal etc.
When monitoring attendance, the following flowcharts come into play. Please read them carefully to understand your role alongside the role of school staff.
Thank you.
Yesterday, we were delighted to present a cheque for £195 to our Charity of the Year – Children’s Kidney Fund NI. This fantastic total was raised during our Christmas Party/Disco Day, and we couldn’t be more thankful! 🎄💃🕺
Our School Council chose this charity because of its special significance within our school community. In the past year, one of our own pupils benefited from a successful kidney transplant, making this cause especially meaningful and close to our hearts. ❤️
We have pledged to continue supporting Children’s Kidney Fund NI throughout the year, and we look forward to making an even greater impact together.
Thank you to everyone who contributed — your kindness truly makes a difference! 🌟🙌
