Hockey is offered to all girls in Primary 5, 6 and 7.  In Waringstown Primary School it is our aim that through teaching the skills of hockey, all girls will gain in ability, enjoyment and in self-confidence.

Hockey in the Primary School Section throughout Northern Ireland is played in 6 a-side teams. Each year Waringstown Primary School produce an A and a B team.  These two teams enjoy taking part in friendly games against local primary schools, the school team also annually participates in the Mid Ulster League and enjoys notable success within this. A prestigious tournament is held annually in Northern Ireland to find the most successful Hockey team.  This is a very popular and challenging competition in which Waringstown Primary School had been crowned as Champions in the Year 2001, 2008 and in 2009.

We prepare our hockey girls from Primary 5 with skill, ability and a good knowledge of hockey so as they are confident to carry this on when they enter into their post primary education.

At the end of Term 1 the hockey girls took part in a Colour Walk Fundraiser and raised an AMAZING total of £765.  The girls had a brilliant time completing their 2 mile walk/run/dance dressed in bright clothing and Mrs McElhinney, Mrs Boyce and Mrs Peacocke are all overwhelmed by the support of family and friends in sponsoring the girls. 

The idea was brought to the teachers by the hockey girls themselves, as we were badly in need of a new goalie kit.  We have raised enough money to purchase a wonderful new goalie kit, bibs, skorts and socks, which will benefit all of the hockey girls during hockey practice and matches.A sincere thank you to the girls themselves for coming up with the great fundraising idea and participating in it and to the family and friends who have supported the girls and hockey in school.  Also thank you to Mr Budd who helped to source all of equipment.

We look forward to hockey practice starting back after Half Term

All the hockey girls in P5, P6 and P7 have shown great commitment this year and it has paid off as the team won the Lurgan College Aspiring Hockey trophy and played superbly in all other matches. For our last day of hockey, the girls had a party to celebrate the success of all the hockey girls and the progress they have made over the year.  They enjoyed some party food, singing and dancing.  A great afternoon was had by all!  At the end Mrs McElhinney and Mrs Hall presented the team with a lovely photo and frame so the girls will always have something special to remember their time playing for Waringstown Primary School.

The teachers would like to say a BIG thank you to all the girls who have attended hockey practice this year and we want to wish the P7 girls every success as they move on to their new school!
