Young Writers Competition Success

      

We were delighted to be informed that our school were given the prize of Young Writers Award of Excellence.

Last year all children in Primary 5 and Primary 6 took part in a Creative Writing Competition writing a Crazy Creatures Saga. All pupils that entered were given the opportunity to have their work published in a book. This book can be found in our school library where all pupils in school will be able to read the Crazy Creatures Sagas. A number of parents also availed of the opportunity to purchase their own copies of the book as well.

We have just received word that our school has now won the overall prize for Young Writers Award of Excellence and received a beautiful glass trophy and £100 gift voucher for National Books.

Thank you and congratulations to all the children who took part! We are very proud of YOU! The voucher will be invested in providing more books for the school and encouraging children in their love of reading and writing.

Credit Union Cheque Presentation

The school was delighted to receive a cheque from the Lurgan Credit Union this week thanks to your savings accounts.  The children have clearly been saving over the past months and the school will direct the £300 cheque towards the purchase of new iPads and technology in school.
 
We are currently upgrading our iPads and seeking to refresh the old technology which as you can imagine goes out of date very quickly!
Thank you for supporting the Credit Union Savings scheme.

Golden Postcard Success

Well done to all those children who recently received one of Mr McCambley's Golden Postcards. They were all very well deserved.

KS2 Librarians Appointed

The recent appointment of KS2 Librarians will ensure our Library is kept organised and tidy for this academic year. This team of Librarians will assist Mrs Peacocke with our school Library.

Welcome Back!

Dear parents / guardians
 
On behalf of my staff, I thank you most sincerely for the superb way you have prepared your children for their return to the new academic year.
 
Routines are being established and I urge you to check folders (Junior School) and homework diaries (Senior School) for homework and associated activities.
 
Thank you for your continued support!

Golden Postcard Success

On our first Assembly back to school some of our pupils were thrilled to be the first to achieve one of Mr McCambley's Golden Postcards.  A huge well done to all the recipients!

Outdoor Final Assembly 2024

The Primary 7 children finished school on Monday 24 June after a magnificent Leavers' Assembly.  On Wednesday the whole school once again joined together to say goodbye to two of our pupils who are leaving us.  Mr McCambley wished both pupils God's richest blessing and presented them with a keepsake for their memories in Waringstown Primary School.  A cheque for £500 was also presented to Mrs McCullough after our recent Crazy Hair Day in support of Goal Line.

Mrs McCracken, who has taught in our Nursery was also presented with a bouquet of flowers as we bid her a fond farewell as she retires from the teaching profession.  THANK YOU Mrs McCracken for all of your wonderful work.

Sports Day 2024

Sports Day 2024 was a huge success.  The sun shone for us while the events ran to schedule.  It was lovely to see our MUGA area full to capacity with each year group competing along with parents, grandparents and friends spectating.  The children all competed showing great sportsmanship amongst their peers cheering and celebrating each other on.  Take a look through our photo gallery to view the large array of pictures:
