As usual there was great excitement at Halloween as ghosts and witches paraded through the school. And the children were great too!
Our P3 & 4 children entertained the residents from Nazareth House to some good Halloween fun! Don’t the teachers look better when they are dressed up?

This conundrum will suit all shopaholics!
Two mothers and two daughters went shopping. Each woman bought a bag, but only three bags were bought! How could this be possible?
Mrs Patricia Liesching from the Ulster Cancer Foundation visited our school and outlined ways that we might stay healthy. Her message was SAFE…. avoid Sunburn, breathe good Air (no smoking), each 5 portions of Fruit & Veg per day, and take regular exercise. She also told the children to Slip, Slap, Slop…. ask the children what this means. Patricia left some fundraising envelopes with the children… deadline 2 weeks.
The School Photographer will be in the school on Monday, 26th October 2009. During the day he will take an individual photo of ALL pupils present. This needs to be done this year in order to update our school records. If you want a family photo taken (to include children NOT at the school i.e. a toddler or older sibling) this will be done first thing in the morning i.e. 8:30 am. If you want a family photo taken of only your children who are all currently at the school, please make sure that one of your children’s class teachers is notified.
Monday 5th October saw our first meeting of our Parent Partnership. There were 7 parents in attendance with 4 apologies.
Topics discussed were …
The next meeting is planned for the beginning of November. If any other parents would like to share their expertise and craic then they will be very welcome.
Sadly we are losing Sr Teresa who has been a Trustee representative on our Board of Governors. Sister has given many years of service to our school; sharing her expertise, calmness, energy and good sense with all of us. More importantly she has remained a very good friend to all of us and has been so kind and accommodating to the children.
Sister, good luck in Belfast and remember, the door is always open here for you.
Thank You!
