The Big Beach Clean is an annual call to action as part of the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC), operated internationally by Ocean Conservancy. Today, pupils took part in the event by conducting our big beach clean at Mill Bay. 

Lots of fun filled activities to celebrate the day of pirates! 🗺️⚱️

We had George Withers in singing some sea shanty’s which was amazing, and we sang some of our own too! Thank you George, Ahoy Matey!

We enjoyed learning some of the pirate words🎶

Postman Noel also got a lovely shipshape performance! 😉

We got the opportunity to visit the new housing development on the island this week and find about the progress of the buildings. Micky, from Lowry’s, showed us around and explained how the houses will be heated and how the electrics work in a modern house. This was particularly important for our KS1 pupils who are looking at buildings in the World Around Us topic.

We had lots of fun for Roald Dahl Day 2024. This year we created a selection of crafts from our favourite characters- Mr. Twit’s beard, the peach and our own marvellous medicine.

Eradication Project

We had a morning FULL of information about the LIFE Raft eradication project happening on our island! It’s important that we all keep safe during the ongoing project.

Massive thanks to Rauri and Biz from LIFE Raft for showing us your cool equipment, explaining how to use it safely and what to do if we spot something wrong!

Our 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.

We had a great day at our annual end of year BBQ and end of year celebration. Thank you to Patricia for organising it and making such lovely food.

Today we held our annual prizegiving in school. During the presentation we looked back on the all the things we have achieved as a school and we also said goodbye to our P7 pupil Rowan. The final presentation of the day was made to Mrs. Margaret McQuilken for her contribution to the school governing body. Well done to all our winners including our parents.
