• Girls’ Football Success

  Fri 24 May 2024

  Congratulations to our girls’ football team who played in a tournament on Thursday afternoon. The team played really well together, lots of good goals were scored & the defence were tight at the back.  The girls managed to qualify for the ‘cup’ and, in the end, came second overall - what an achievement! 
  The girls have qualified for the Northern Ireland Finals which will be played next Friday. Our boys will also field a team for the finals so it will be a great day out for Bocombra.

  Thank you to Mrs Gallacher & Mrs Stewart for coaching the girls so well. 
   

  

• Year 5 Pathways Project Music Concert

  Tue 21 May 2024

  Year 5 pupils were delighted to welcome parents, grandparents and their Year 5 peers from Ballyoran P.S. to our Pathways Project Music Concert. Mr Bothwell and Mr McLean from EA Music Service, Bann House have been tutoring our 45 pupils throughout the year. Each pupil played their instrument showcasing the skills they have learnt in order to perform pieces on a clarinet, saxophone, trumpet or trombone. Everyone was very impressed with how well our Bocombra band sounded especially when they played as challenging a piece as 'Mamma Mia'. Well done to all of the Year 5 pupils and a big thank you to Mr Bothwell and Mr McLean for all of their hard work too!
