P7 Residential - Carlingford 2026 Our P7 pupils spent last Tuesday and Wednesday in Carlingford, County Louth, on their 'Leavers' Residential'. It was action-packed from the outset! After arriving in Carlingford town early on Tuesday morning, they made their way to Carlingford Adventure Centre, their base for the next two days. Here, they were introduced to the team of instructors, as well as their itinerary for the next couple of days. On the first day, we took part in laser tag in Slieve Foye Forest and had our aim tested by taking part in archery, axe and speer throwing. We concluded the evening by developing our team building skills, taking part in an obstacle course blindfolded! P7 finished off their evening with takeaways, treats, and plenty of craic with their friends! On day two, the group got straight to action, kayaking on Carlingford Lough, with the stunning scenery of the Cooley Peninsula as their backdrop and visiting the 'Sky Park', where they undertook the high ropes challenge and scaled the heights with wonderful enthusiasm. Everyone took on their activities with eager determination and commendable enthusiasm, which was fantastic to see! From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience for all the group and memories they will cherish for many years to come. Well done, Primary 7

Thanks Supervalu and Musgrave NI We are extremely grateful to Musgrave NI and our local Supervalu for their very generous donation of £1500 towards our Breakfast Club. Breakfast is such an important start to the day, helping our children arrive in school well-fed, focused and ready to learn. Thanks to this support, we are able to: -Reduce the cost of breakfast for all children attending the club -Provide 25 free breakfasts each week during the final term to families experiencing financial pressures during the cost of living crisis -This makes a positive & real difference to many of our pupils and their families. A special word of thanks to Senior Teacher Mr McReynolds for his support in helping to secure this funding. Community partnerships like this truly make a difference thank you!

P6 Trip to Armagh Planetarium Our Primary 6 pupils had an out-of-this-world day at Armagh Planetarium! From exploring the wonders of space to learning about planets, stars and galaxies, the children were fully engaged and inspired throughout the visit. The interactive exhibits and fascinating dome show brought the universe to life, sparking curiosity and lots of great questions! There were plenty of smiles as pupils discovered what it's like to be an astronaut, learned about space exploration, and even got the chance to see how scientists study the night sky. A fantastic day of learning, fun and discovery!
