Wellbeing Day Sep 2024
Mon 02 Sep 2024Our first wellbeing day of 24/25 had a focus of ‘connect and re-connect’. Pupils got the opportunity to re-connect with their school friends and think about the importance of talking to each other. We also used the day to take part in some sporting activities and finished by planting new flowers in our garden. Pupils got the chance to use the new sports equipment kindly donated by Antrim and Ulster GAA. We welcomed back ex-pupils in Yrs. 8 and 9, now at CPC, for the day.
