Mr Hackett’s and Mrs McAreavy’s classes both took part in the City of Belfast School of Music “Sing Out” project on Wednesday 16^th November in St Genevieve’s High School. Mrs McBride came in for 8 weeks on a Wednesday morning to train the children in preparation for the performance.  On the night of the concert Mrs McCoy conducted the choir made up of ourselves and 4 other Primary schools from the area. There was music from the African drummers “A-Freek-A”, a trio called W3 and the Intermediate Band . It was a wonderful night of music and singing and the children thoroughly enjoyed the night. The Intermediate Band surprised us at the end with a familiar tune from Frozen!

Members of the Quinnipiac University Ice Hockey Team will be visiting our school on the morning of Wednesday 23rd November. They will talk to the P3-P7 children in the hall. The P5 children will be all be going to watch them play on 25th November.

We look forward to welcoming them to our school.

We would like to welcome Father Brendan Mulhall, our new Parish priest. He has been visiting the children this week in their classes and meeting all the staff.

This year Anti Bullying Week 2016 takes place between 14th-18th November and this year’s theme is ‘Together We Are Stronger’.

As a school we are thinking about:

“What does it mean to have strength of character?” and  “How can we use our combined strength positively?”

There will be lots of activities going on in school so please ask your child about what they have been learning.
