The month of May was a busy month with many notable successes.
Congratulations and thank you to our P3 4 children who performed so brilliantly at the Storytelling Concert. Thank you also to all the staff who supported and helped with costumes etc.
The Scottish dancers also put on an excellent performance and we are grateful to the dance teacher Miss Michelle Johnston. We are hoping that she will be able to return in September.
Congratulations to the P7 football players who were runners up in the football tournament in Irvinestown. Well done to Jake Browne who won Player of the Tournament.
Congratulations to Dylan Swindle who received first Communion on 21 May.
The Opening of the School Grounds by Mrs Arlene Foster went very well and once again we commend the children on their excellent performance.
