School Carol Services
This year, I made the decision that we would re-start our Christmas Celebrations with our School Carol Service. It was wonderful to be able to invite parents, grandparents and supporters into school for the three services. We have all missed these special times when we can celebrate together and enjoy seeing the children on stage! I deliberately placed this year’s emphasis on Key Stage Two as P5, P6 & P7 have not had the opportunity to be on stage due to the torrid times associated with Covid-19. It was most fitting to see these children on stage, especially Primary 7’s prior to leaving us in June.
With Anna Turner leaving us at the end of her Primary 7 year, we were delighted to support her chosen charities: The Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children and The Ronald McDonald House Charity. We were all incredibly proud to listen to Anna’s personal story as she relayed why these charities mean so much to her and her family. Didn’t she do well!
The Turner family’s chosen charities were the Ronald McDonald House Charity and The Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children. I am delighted to be able to inform you that the total raised for the charity thus far is £2563.92
(A DVD may be ordered via Eduspot in January. Any proceeds from the DVD sales will also go to the charities).

On Friday 02 December 2022, our Tag Rugby Team and Hockey Team represented Waringstown Primary School at the LC Duosport Charity event, which raised over £2000 for disadvantaged children in South Africa.
Both the tag rugby team and hockey team did tremendously well, bringing home two winner's trophies beating off the competition in the group stages, winning their semi finals and then finals!
Mrs McElhinney and Mr Gault were also very proud at how our pupil's behaved and represented our school!

Recently one of our Primary 6 children travelled to Wales to compete in the Kick Boxing World Championships. We are delighted to announce that he came back as 'Fighter of the Year!'
The School Eco Councillors would like to thank everyone who helped us this year with the Bags2School Collection. We were really pleased with the support that we received from families across the school community. We are delighted to announce that all of the bags together weighed 391.5kg and therefore we raised £156.60 for the school.
Thank you for your continued support!
Primary 5 children recently completed their Half Marathon of 13.1 miles. The children ran a celebration mile within the grounds of the school, where parents and grandparents were able to join in and support the runners. Our special guest, the Lord Mayor, Mr Paul Greenfield presented each runner with a medal, certificate and race pack. Each pack was kindly sponsored by ABC Council, PSNI Road Policing, Lurgan Credit Union, Dewarts and AB&C Insurance. A special thanks to all for their sponsorship. Mrs Williamson was delighted with the children's enthusiasm throughout the 7 week programme and would like to congratulate each child on their Half Marathon achievement. A huge thank you also goes to our Primary 5 volunteers who undertook the responsible role of marshalling the route. Everyone worked together to ensure the event was a success. Take a look through the gallery below:
Representatives from both the ABC Council and PSNI Road Policing recently visited Primary 5 to deliver the important message of 'Street SMART, Road SAFE'. This programme is invaluable in teaching our young children essential road skills, as well as highlighting the all important Green Cross Code. The children really enjoyed and benefited greatly from this very worthwhile and educational visit. A special thank you was said to both representatives who were fantastic in relaying their safety message.
