Assessments are complete! Well done to all of our pupils who have now completed their assessments over the past two weeks! We are incredibly proud of the hard work, determination and positive attitudes shown by everyone throughout the assessment period. The children approached each task with great focus and resilience and should all be very proud of themselves. These assessments are important in helping teaching staff plan effectively to support each pupil's ongoing learning and future development. A huge thank you also to our staff and families for their continued support and encouragement. Now it's time for everyone to relax and enjoy the final few weeks of term!

It was wonderful to see Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in action the right for every child to have their voice heard and taken seriously Our Rights Team also had the opportunity to hear from a guest speaker from the Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People (NICCY), who spoke about the important work they do to support and protect children's rights. A massive thank you to Knockevin for their fantastic hospitality our Rights Team had an amazing and inspiring day! #RightsRespectingSchools #Article12 #PupilVoice

A Healthy Home Starts Young! Our P2 and P3 pupils recently had a fantastic visit from the Housing Executive. During the session, the children enjoyed listening to the story Hattie the House, learning simple ways to keep their homes healthy and picking up positive everyday habits. Each child also received their own copy of the book along with a colouring sheet to take homewhat a lovely keepsake! A huge thank you to NIHE for delivering such an engaging and enjoyable session for our pupils!
