P1-P3 After Schools Club

The P1-P3 After School Club will commence on the 8th October. The aim of the club is to prevent parents who have a child in P1-P3 and a child in P4-P7 having to make two trips to school to collect their child at the end of the day. Unfortunately places are restricted to those children who have  an older brother or sister in the school.

Bombardier High Flyers!

Holy Trinity Primary School has again been invited to join the High Flyers programme run by Bombardier. This involves educational visits to the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum and to the Belfast Bog-Meadows, learning all about interesting information on the theme of Flight.

P6MH travelled to W5 on Thursday 20th October where they were introduced to the other schools taking part by Tony Monaghan, who co-ordinates the programme on behalf of Bombardier. They listened to an interesting lecture from an engineer who works in Bombardier. She explained all the interesting aspects of her job and how it links to STEM, (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) in the primary school. The children had time after lunch to explore the excellent facilities in W5, before returning to school eager to explore their topic of Flight.
