• CORONATION RECORDING

  Wed 15 Mar 2023

  The choir enjoyed a fantastic morning at the Courthouse Theatre recording a song for King Charles III’s Coronation in May. They sang a setting of ‘Be Thou My Vision’, specially commissioned for the occasion, along with other schools in our area. Our recording will be shown in public during Coronation celebrations in Antrim and the local community. This was a brilliant experience for the children, and we look forward to seeing the recording!

   

   

   

   

   

  

• BEESAFE

  Tue 14 Mar 2023

  Our P7 pupils took part in the BeeSafe Workshops on Monday. It was delivered by the Policing and Community Safety Partnership. The children learned about Fire Safey, Home Safety and Road Safety. They discussed the dangers of drugs and alcohol use, and the importance of having good relations with their peers and others within the community. It was  very informative, with lots for the children to think about as they prepare to move on to their next school.
