• FOOTBALL SPONSOR

  Thu 01 Feb 2018

  The football team would like to give a very special thank you to Mr Brian Close from Brian Close Transport for very kindly sponsoring and providing the team with a new football kit. Special thanks also to the PTA for their assistance with the ordering process.  The boys got their first run out in their new strip this week playing in the Antrim & Newtownabbey League.  They had a successful day with a 3-3 draw against St Comgall's PS and beat Randalstown Central PS, winning 5-0.  Well done boys!

  

• HOCKEY BLITZ

  Tue 30 Jan 2018

  The school hockey teams had their first outing at the Antrim Schools Hockey Blitz held at Antrim Forum.  This local tournament was a great opportunity for both teams to display their skills and talent. There were some excellent results and very good displays of teamwork.  We look forward to our next blitz in February.

  

• CROSS COUNTRY

  Fri 26 Jan 2018
  Yesterday the Cross Country team attended the third and final race of the Flahavans race series.  The course was tough, long, hilly and muddy! A real challenge for all involved, including spectators.  Sophie Doherty and Finlay Ager were first to run the course as part of the fun run.  They performed brilliantly.  The girls ran next and worked hard to secure a place in the Northern Ireland finals in February. The boys were last to run and Paddy Roberts finished in third place with the rest of the team not too far behind.  The boys placed first overall in their race and have also earned a place in the Northern Ireland finals.  We are so proud of them for their consistent training in all weathers and excellent race performances.  We would like to thank our parents, helpers and supporters who play a vital role on the day.  Well done everyone!!

• SPECIAL OLYMPICS

  Fri 12 Jan 2018
  This morning we were very pleased to welcome some guests into our P4-P7 assembly to talk to pupils about the Special Olympics.  Amy talked to the children about who the Special Olympics is for, what different sports they offer and how to get involved.  We were also very lucky to have a short interview with Adam.  He is an Olympic athlete, from a local club, who has won over 100 medals!
