Have a look at what's happening in our school.

• Spring has arrived!

  Wed 01 Mar 2023

  Spring has 'officially' arrived as we embark on our garden project. Over the course of the term, we are going to use our school garden on a regular basis. If you have any expertise in this area, please speak to a member of staff as we could do with some help to get the garden into shape. We would love to start to grow our own vegetables to teach the pupils all about food.

  

• Science in P4-7

  Mon 27 Feb 2023

• 'Live Loudly, Donate Proudly'.

  Tue 21 Feb 2023

  'Live Loudly, Donate Proudly'.

  We are delighted to take part in the pilot scheme of a new organ donation project, promoted by the Public Health Agency, for N Ireland schools.  It is inspired by Lucia Quinney Mee and her campaign, Live Loudly Donate Proudly.  This campaign is all about conversation, communication and education, in order to raise awareness of the importance of organ donation and has a special place in hearts of the local people on the Island. For more information see the website:

• Wellbeing Wednesday.

  Wed 15 Feb 2023

  Today, we celebrated Children's Mental Health Week in school. The theme of the day was 'Be unique: Be yourself'. We had a lovely yoga session, a wellbeing walk and finished the day with some healthy smoothies. We welcomed back last year's P7's and past pupils Freyja and Jago. A big thank you to Boyle's Spar Ballycastle for donating the cups for our smoothies and Dessie Smyth at Ballycastle Community Fridge for the fruit.
