Today in assembly we celebrated Golden Postcard success and recognised pupil achievements.  Well done to everyone!

This week, our School Carol Services filled Holy Trinity Church of Ireland, Waringstown with joy and community spirit. Across three services, an incredible 1,400 people joined us to celebrate the Christmas Story which was told in word and song.

Mrs Peacocke's Primary 5 class led a beautiful assembly all about the Christingle.  The pupils worked hard and enjoyed sharing the meaning behind this special tradition, explaining the symbolism of the orange, candle and decorations.  Through a song, drama and thoughtful reflections, they reminded everyone of the light and hope that the Christingle represents during the Advent season.  Well done to Primary 5 for their confidence and teamwork in delivering such an inspiring assembly.  Mrs Peacocke is very proud of every child for participating and learning their lines so well.

We have had a busy term in SU this year.  We learned about the 10 lepers and Paul and Silas in prison.  We thought about Jesus being the light of the world at the end of October and entered into the Christmas story in November. 

Rev. Matthew from Holy Trinity taught us the story of Elizabeth and Zachariah and David, Clifford and Barbara from Waringstown Presbyterian taught the story of Gabriel visiting Mary. 

We used ipads and the Puppetpals app to retell the Christmas story in groups and played fun nativity games!  We finished off the term with some popcorn and the Christmas story movie. 

A huge thank you to Rev. Matthew from Holy Trinity and David, Barbara and Clifford from Waringstown Presbyterian church for taking the time to teach the children and share God’s Word with them. They really enjoyed the games and we look forward to you coming again!

What a blessed term! 

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

Primary 2 are having a ‘Polar Express’ themed week in school.  To start the exciting fun-filled week the children came to school dressed in their pyjamas! We enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows and cookies while watching the Polar Express movie.  We wrote about the story and added marshmallows! All activities this week are based around the story of the Polar Express.  

The festive season is in full swing at our school and we’re delighted to announce the return of our Christmas Post service! This year, our fantastic Primary 7 pupils are taking the lead in sorting and delivering all the school’s Christmas cards. Adding an extra sprinkle of Christmas magic, our enthusiastic Primary 1 helpers have joined the team to assist with deliveries. It’s wonderful to see pupils working together across year groups to make this tradition special for everyone.

We kindly ask for donations, which will go towards supporting The Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, a cause close to our hearts. Every contribution, big or small, will help make a difference for children and families who need it most.

Thank you for your generosity and for helping us spread joy both in school and beyond.

We love to celebrate achievements both inside and outside school. Well done to the pupils who received awards this week, you make us proud!

Keep aiming high as we follow our school motto: Working, Playing, Succeeding Together!

Mr McCambley’s Golden Postcards were once again presented to pupils this week in recognition of their outstanding behaviour, positive attitude and strong work ethos.

A huge well done to all the happy recipients. Keep up the fantastic effort, everyone!
