  ANTRIM FESTIVAL

   

  Dear Parent

   

  This year’s parade will take place this Friday evening (10th June) and we would love as many of our pupils (and parents!) as possible to take part.

   

  The arrangements are as follows:-

   

  • We will be meeting at the grass area at the bottom of the Greystone Road at 5.45pm.

     

  • The Parade starts at the Top of The Town roundabout at 6.00pm. We would ask that parents accompany us on our journey through the town.

   

  • The theme for this year will be Rio Olympics 2016.The aim is to have a sea of colour and wall of noise moving through the town.We suggest that APS pupils adopt a ‘Cheerleader’ theme. Feel free to bring small ‘musical instruments’ along - drums, tambourines etc!

     

  • The Parade will make its way through the town to the Old Courthouse Square where you are welcome to remain as a family for the entertainment.

     

    As the largest school in the area, it would be fantastic to see a good turnout at this fun event!

     

    We look forward to seeing you on Friday evening.

• PTA Fashion Show

  Fri 06 May 2016
  A fantastic time was had by everyone who attended this successful event.  We are finalising the total raised, but it's likely to be in excess of £1,000!  Well done to everyone who was involved in the organisation, and, of course, special mention to our wonderful models!

  

• Parent Internet Safety Talk

  Tue 26 Apr 2016

  Representatives from the PSNI have offered to deliver a talk for parents regarding Internet Safety on Thursday 12th May at 6.30pm.  The talk - 'Chat, Share, Think' is aimed at parents, and will cover areas such as how parents can keep tabs on what their children are accessing online, an overview of 'sexting', and how parents can keep their children safe in the online world.

   

  Given the role that the internet and social networking has in today's society, we feel that this talk will be very informative and extremely relevant for many of our parents.  We would encourage you to attend if at all possible. 

• Perimeter Fencing

  Mon 25 Apr 2016
  We are currently having work carried out at the front of the school, as our perimeter fencing is being replaced.  It's not likely that parents and pupils will be affected at drop off/pick up times, but we would ask that you exercise caution nonetheless.
