Have a look at what's happening in our school.
A huge well done to every child involved for their hard work and confidence on stage during our production of 'Bethlehem Bakeoff', and sincere thanks to our staff and families for their support. It was a joyful occasion that truly captured the spirit of Christmas and showcased the talents of our school community. Maith thú!

Our pupils enjoyed a trip to Ballymoney with Ballycastle Integrated PS to see this year’s pantomime, Peter Pan. The children were excited to see their favourite characters come to life on stage, and their participation added to the atmosphere. It was a wonderful opportunity to experience live theatre. It was an extra special day for Dáire in P7, who celebrated his birthday.
A big thank-you to the staff who travelled with them and to BIPs for the toast before boarding the bus.
We’re excited for our annual Christmas Draw, featuring a wonderful selection of prizes generously donated by local businesses.
A huge thank-you to the local shops and businesses whose contributions make this event possible.
See the pictures for all prizes and tickets are available from the school.
Good luck everyone! ✨
On Monday we had such an exciting day with Into Film in Rathlin’s RSPB Centre. We learned how to make our own storyboards and base our stories in specific genres and in different types of settings. And the best part… we got to watch ‘The Wild Robot!’ . Lots of tears shed… from pupils AND staff!
We had an absolutely fantastic day - thanks so much to the crew from INTO Film for facilitating such a great experience for our pupils
This month, as part of our forest school Friday, we used the outdoor area to explore language and look at things we might discover in a forest or outdoors in Irish. This was very useful as we then looked at some place names that include those words.
This week, our school proudly took part in Anti-Bullying Week 2025, which ran from Monday, 10th to Friday, 14th November. This year’s theme was ‘The Power for Good’ and it encouraged everyone in our community to stand together against bullying and to promote kindness, empathy, and inclusion.
To celebrate the week, we enjoyed a range of meaningful activities, including:
Whole-School Assembly – On Friday morning, we held a special assembly where pupils explored what bullying means, how to speak up safely, and the importance of showing respect in our words and actions.
Creative Workshop in Adobe Express –on Wednesday, we took part in a digital workshop using Adobe Express to design inspiring anti-bullying posters and messages. Pupils expressed their voices creatively and shared positive messages across the school.
Odd Socks Day – On Monday and Tuesday, everyone joined in by wearing odd socks to celebrate our differences and remind us that everyone is unique!
Today school was filled with fun, creativity, and spooky excitement as we celebrated Halloween Students and teachers came dressed in a wonderful variety of costumes—from music stars and to friendly ghosts and playful monsters. We even had a wicked witch who turned Miss Bakewell into a frog. Oíche Shamhna shona duit! See you all for the PTA Halloween event on 1st November.
Please see information from Shauna Kelly, founder of Supporting Sparks — a Positive Behaviour Support and Wellbeing initiative based in Ballycastle- regarding upcoming workshops for children over the Halloween break.
