Details: Category: Eco Achievements; Published: Thursday, 27 June 2019 09:51

Thankyou to all those parents who donated uniforms and books for our pop-up shops. We raised £207 pounds from the Uniforms which will be used by the School Eco Council during the next academic year. The surplus uniforms have been bagged up and are ready for our Bag2School recycling event which will take place between Monday 25 November and Tuesday 3 December.

The second hand books raised £50 which has been donated to Habitat for Humanity, a charity who worked with our P5 year group this year, and will again next year.

Thanks again.

We are delighted to have received two awards at the ‘Best Kept’ Awards ceremony at Stranmillis University College, Belfast. Our Nursery were runners-up in the ‘Tidy School’ preschool category, which is a fantastic achievement as this is their first time entering. Also, one of our P7 pupils was put forward for the 'Best Kept Pupil Achiever Award' due to her work on our School Eco Council and Eco related activities and initiatives over the past number of years. We are delighted to announce that our entrant won this award, which had some very tough competition.

Huge congratulations from all at Waringstown Primary School.

We are delighted to share that one of our Primary 3 pupils entered and won the '2019 Marine Litter Art Competition,' which she entered at home with her parents. The competition was judged by Ulster Wildlife and N.I. Science Festival representatives, this being the 'Judge's Special Commendation.'

Our winner said, "I shredded some rope and glued it on the sculpture. I made corals out of dummies, bike tyres, bottle caps and other plastic. The sand is cut up sponge. The pearls are of a necklace."

As a school we are so proud that families are sharing in our Eco Journey to make Waringstown and areas further afield better and cleaner places.

We are so delighted for our P3 Winner. Well done!
