• Our Jubilee Bake-off competition

  Thu 16 Jun 2022

  We had a huge number of entries for our Jubilee Bake-off competition and they were all very impressive. Well done to everyone who entered, it made the judging very difficult for Mrs Willis, a Home Economics teacher from Portadown College. The winners were selected for showing skill, innovation and presentation. All of the cakes and cupcakes will be on sale this evening at our PTA Fun night. 

  

• Castlewellan

  Wed 08 Jun 2022

  We arrived safely and quickly got settled into our dorms. After exploring we had lunch and then began our activities. We had team building games, a GPS treasure hunt, a tree trail and a tour of the castle. 

  Pizza and chips followed by a doughnut for tea helped boost the energy levels for a walk around the lake. After a visit to the tuck shop we watched part of a movie before heading to bed. 😴

   

  After some sleep and room Inspections this morning we are ready for breakfast and an action packed day of activities. 

   

  We went canoeing, practised archery and played laser tag today. This evening we were orienteering around the castle grounds. After a visit to the tuck shop, we watched the rest of our movie to finish the day. 

  

• P7 Fun Week

  Day 1

  We met at Craigavon Omniplex, enjoyed a movie and then walked to Kernan Playing Fields for our picnic lunch.  We played games all afternoon before walking back to school. Great weather for our first day. 
   

  Day 2

  We met at Tannaghmore Gardens and enjoyed games, the maze and the play park. We then walked to Rushmere to get lunch in McDonalds followed by ice cream in Mauds or Spoon Street. We walked it back to school for 3pm, tired after a busy day.

  Huge congratulations to all our Money Week prize winners who recieved their lovely money boxes this week in Assembly.  The standard of entries was very high and we had a graphic designer who was in charge of judging the entries and choosing the winner - they said they were so impressed by everyone's artwork and they found it very difficult indeed to choose the winner.

• Parent Pay Update - Tuesday 17th May 2022

  Tue 17 May 2022

  Parent Pay Update - Thank you to everyone who has registered (now 90% of our families) and are successfully using Parent Pay to pay for and book school meals. Just a few reminders: It is essential that you log on to Parent Pay and register your child(ren) even if you only occasionally take school meals. We hope to expand this system to make payments for other items such as school trips and tuition fees next term. Meal selections must be made for all of your children, including free school meals for the full week before mid-night on a Sunday evening. Please ensure that you scroll to the bottom of the booking page to CONFIRM your selections otherwise the meals are not recorded by the system.  Payments are separate from meal bookings and can be made at any time into your Parent Pay account. If you have any difficulty registering or booking meals, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
