• Mrs Taylor's Retirement Assembly

  Thu 18 Dec 2025

  Today we had a very special assembly paying tribute to our wonderful teacher, vice principal and friend – Mrs Taylor.  The children shared their memories and both past and present members of staff spoke of their time working with Mrs Taylor. 

  It was lovely that Mrs Taylor’s family were present to share in the celebrations. 

  We can’t thank Mrs Taylor enough for all that she has done for everyone involved in Bocombra PS – in the past and present.  Mrs Taylor will be very sadly missed but we wish her all the best for a long and happy retirement.

• A 50th Anniversary Christmas Celebration

  Thu 11 Dec 2025

  A big ‘well done’ to our P1-4 pupils who led us in a fantastic night in Edenderry Presbyterian Church on Wednesday evening.  Through readings and song the children reminded us of the Christmas story.  Everyone did extremely well in front of a packed church.  Well done too to our musicians and choir who performed beautifully.  
  
  This was also a special evening as we celebrated 50 years of Bocombra Primary School.  We enjoyed seeing some pictures of our school through the years.  This video is available to view in the Video Resource Centre of our website.

  
  The evening concluded as we recognised and thanked Mrs Taylor for 38 years of dedicated service to our school.  On behalf of the parents and friends, we were able to present Mrs Taylor with a gift to acknowledge her love, care and commitment to the pupils in Bocombra.  Thank you to everyone who contributed to this gift.

  
  A huge ‘Thank you’ to everyone who made this night a great success.
