Ulster Rugby Primary School Regional Blitz

Details: Category: Rubgy; Published: Thursday, 10 April 2025 14:02

Today a squad of rugby players travelled to Dromore RFC for the Annual Ulster Rugby Regional Blitz. The boys played for games, against Meadowbridge PS (twice), Edenderry PS and Spa PS. They won two games, drew one and lost one.

We were delighted with how well they performed for the first game(s) of the season. It was fantastic to see how some boys who have never played the sport before, got stuck in!

A huge well done.

Details: Category: Choir; Published: Wednesday, 09 April 2025 14:13

We were incredibly proud of the Junior and Senior Choirs who having practised very hard attended Portadown Music Festival recently.

The Junior Choir received very high marks in their class and excelled in singing their two pieces. Thanks must go to Mrs K Park for her sterling work with the choir. They brought home the Ferguson Challenge Cup.

The Senior Choir, despite steep competition from excellent local school choirs, attained first place in their class and enjoyed high praise from this year’s adjudicator, Mr Jonathan Rea of New Irish Arts fame. Sincere thanks to Mrs J Davison for preparing the Senior Choir so well. The children excelled and performed two demanding pieces to a very high standard winning the JS Bright Shield for the highest mark in the whole Primary Section.

The Senior Choir were also awarded the Ulster Teachers Union cup along with £200 for the most outstanding and memorable performance in the Primary Section. This money will be added to the i-Challenge fund-raising initiative.

Hearty congratulations to the children for working so hard over the past number of weeks. The whole school community is incredibly proud of the performances and the exemplary way the children represented our school.

Our motto of Working, Playing and Succeeding TOGETHER was evident with the Craigavon Civic Centre filled by so many parents, grandparents and family supporters. We greatly value this support and never take it for granted.

Big Walk & Wheel 2025

A huge thank you to all children and families who have actively travelled to school over the last two weeks for the Big Walk and Wheel and supporting us in this challenge.

Today, all pupils in Primary 1 to Primary 7 received a Hi Vis vest to celebrate our achievements and to encourage the pupils to continue actively travelling to school throughout the year, keeping safe by wearing their Hi Vis vests on darker mornings.

Over the last two weeks, we have had a daily average of 57% of our pupils actively travelling to school in the morning, totalling more than 1880 journeys. Fantastic!! We hope the pupils have felt the benefits each morning as well as the positive impact this has had on our village.

Northern Ireland Hockey Finals

Details: Category: Extra Curricular; Published: Wednesday, 09 April 2025 11:17

The girls’ hockey team headed to Stormont to play in the Northern Ireland hockey finals. There were twenty-four teams from all over Northern Ireland playing in the tournament. The team came second in their section which put them through to the cup. Eight teams were left to fight for the title, we were through to the quarter finals!

It was a tough, close match, the girls giving their all but Fairview managed to win 1-0. Although, initially disappointed not to have progressed further the girls can take comfort in the fact they were one of the top eight hockey teams in Northern Ireland.

A huge thank you to Suzie Parkes who helped to coach the team this year.
