As the lead school, we hosted pupils from St. Mary’s Derrytrasna, St. Brendan’s Craigavon, Tullygally Craigavon, St.Patrick’s Aghacommon and St.Oliver Plunkett’s Ballyhegan enjoyed a full day of games.

Thu 26 Feb 2026Children’s Mental Health Week
This years theme is "Tá áit agam anseo" — This is my place.
What a day! We had a blast celebrating the start of Children’s Mental Health Week with our "Break the Rules Day."
From crazy hairs to staff rocking their pyjamas our school showed off their unique personalities and brought so many smiles to the hallways.
Sometimes, breaking a few rules is exactly what we need to recharge and reconnect. A huge thank you to everyone who participated

NSPPC Visit
Fri 30 Jan 2026๐ฃ๏ธ Speak Out, Stay Safe! ๐ฃ๏ธ
We were delighted to recently welcome the NSPCC to our school this week for their important "Speak Out, Stay Safe" campaign!
Our students took part in interactive assemblies and workshops designed to empower them with the knowledge they need to stay safe. With the help of the NSPCC mascot, Buddy, the children learned:
- To recognize different types of worries and understand that abuse is never a child's fault.
- How to identify "trusted adults" in their lives they can talk to if they ever feel scared or unhappy.
- About Childline and how to access support whenever they need it.
We are so proud of how maturely our pupils engaged with these sensitive topics. A huge thank you to the NSPCC volunteers for delivering such vital messages in a child-friendly and empowering way! ๐

We had a truly heartwarming morning at our school as we welcomed our wonderful grandparents for a very special assembly. It was a beautiful opportunity to celebrate the faith, love, and wisdom they pass down to our children every day.
The hall was filled with smiles and maybe a few happy tears as the children performed songs and shared stories about why their grandparents are so special. Thank you to everyone who joined us for making this such a memorable day in our school community!
Grandparents are a treasure in the family.
