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

The senior Choir were honoured to visit the switching on of the village Christmas lights. The ceremony took place in the grounds of Waring House, at the kind invitation of Mr & Mrs Harnett. The children sang three pieces:
Rainbow Christmas
Away in a Manger
and
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer! (Mrs Erskine and Mr McCambley were rather amazed at the children’s gusto rendition of this last piece. Sorry all grandmothers!
We were so pleased to see a huge representation of our parents mingling freely in the grounds of Waring House with an estimated congregation of 350!
The carols were interspersed with readings. The prayers were offered up by our Chairperson, the Rev Canon Bryan Martin.
We love see the school linked with the Church of Ireland and Waringstown Presbyterian Church communities who organised the event under the direction of Rev B Sanderson.
Thankfully the weather stayed dry and the children enjoyed a sweet treat too which was most welcome.
