We had a fantastic adventure at Jungle NI! The day was packed with exciting activities. Everyone had a great time challenging themselves despite the very hot weather. It was a wonderful opportunity to build confidence, friendship, and lots of happy memories!

On Thursday we were delighted to welcome Dominic- Woody- McKinley- to our school — a hurling coach from Gaelfast who shared his expertise with our students. The children thoroughly enjoyed the coaching sessions, learning new skills and improving their techniques. It was fantastic to see such enthusiasm and energy. 

We would like to extend our sincere thanks Woody for taking the time to visit and inspire our pupils. We look forward to building on what we’ve learned and continuing to develop our love of hurling here at the school.

A big thank you to all the pupils, staff and families who made this year’s Sports Day such a wonderful event!

The children showed great sportsmanship, resilience and enthusiasm throughout the day. It was lovely to see so many families cheering on and supporting the participants.

Congratulations to all the children for their fantastic efforts — every race, jump, and throw was met with smiles and determination. We are very proud of everyone who took part.

We're proud to share the amazing work our students have completed as part of their special June homework! These activities bring learning to life beyond the classroom.
See our pictures hat show how are pupils have connected with the natural world while building skills, curiosity, and confidence. 

Empathy Day is a national initiative that uses books to help us understand each other better and build a more compassionate world. This year, Northern Ireland Libraries held an online workshop to learn about empathy in our communities.

We worked with the illustrator and author, Ashwin Chacko, to learn about empathy in books. Thank you to Libraries NI for a brilliant workshop. 

We were delighted to welcome Caoimhe from Forest School NI to our school for an exciting outdoor learning experience. The visit provided our pupils with a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature, develop practical skills, and build confidence through hands-on activities in the natural environment.

During the session, the children took part in team-building challenges and creative tasks such as den building, natural art, and fire lighting (under supervision). The experience encouraged curiosity, resilience, and a deep appreciation for the outdoors.

A huge thank you to the Forest School NI team for an inspiring and memorable day!
