Ruben Meets His Hero!

Mon 16 Nov 2015

Primary 4 pupil, Ruben Forsythe, was on cloud nine at the weekend when he met his hero, Tom Daley!

Ruben, a keen diver, was competing in the Irish Open Championships in Dublin when he met Tom. They both had an opportunity to dive together - a dream come true.

We are very excited about our visit later to the BBC, where we will be performing for Children In Need. Our school choir will be forming part of a 'superchoir' which will comprise ourselves and 3 other school choirs.

We will be singing at approximately 8.15pm, so be sure to tune in to see us then!

There will be a separate BBC NI programme which will air on Saturday at 5.20pm. We would expect that this programme will feature brief footage from the day the BBC came to visit our school in October.
