Holy Trinity receives the NAACE Mark for the 5th time!

On 18th June Mr Gavin Hawkins, chair of NAACE (National Association for Education Technology) carried out a very comprehensive ICT assessment at our school. He commented that ‘The school is clear in its vision that technology is integral to a changing world. Leaders are determined that children should be prepared for this as much as possible, with curriculum and wider opportunities explored to ensure that skills should be developed, which support future education and beyond. The impact of subject leadership within the management of education technology is highly significant.’

He met with our children, teachers, assistants and parents to discuss the impact of ICT across our school. He saw our children hard at work using Book Creator, beebots, Micro:Bits, Adobe Express, Sway, Just2Easy and the PE Programme. Our Digital Leaders enjoyed showing him the brilliant work they have been doing and telling him about our esafety codes.A huge congratulations to all and a special thank you to the teachers and children who welcomed Mr Hawkins into their room. A special thank you goes to Mrs Boyd, Mrs Rooney and Miss Mc Laughlin who prepared the school for this visit.

Important Dates

Dear Parents, Important dates • School will finish for children in the SPL’s on Thursday 27th June (Full day) • School will finish for the children in mainstream on Friday 28th June at 11.00am. • School will re-open after the Summer break on Monday 2nd Sep .

Applications for Free School Meals and Uniform grants are now available online through the EA online portal. We would ask parents to apply as soon as possible to ensure the application has been processed before your child is due to start back to school. Even if your child prefers a packed lunch, we would encourage you to apply if your child is entitled to Free School Meals, so that they have an option of attending dinners and this also benefits our budget allocation.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our parents for your support and for working in partnership with the school this year.

We would also like to thank the pupils who have so worked hard this year. I am so proud of them. They are kind, caring, well mannered, talented children whose behaviour is excellent. They are an absolute credit to parents and their teachers. We would like to wish teachers Mr Kelly, Mrs Mc Kavanagh and classroom assistants Mrs Kennedy and Mrs Donnelly, good luck in their retirement and thank them for all their support over the years.

We hope everyone has a lovely Summer break.

Thank you Mrs F Boyd

Well done P4.

LSC1, 2 and 3 Monday 24th June

Children in the LSC4, LSC5 and LSC6 classes will receive a Seesaw message from their class teacher informing parents of the dates and times for Sports Day.

Reserve dates have been planned in the event that original dates can not go ahead due to adverse weather conditions. These reserve dates will be used by any of the year groups that don’t have Sports Day on the original date planned. As many parents need to take time off work to see their children take part in Sports Day, I have provided a list of approximate times that Sports Day will start and finish for each year group.

This year, parents will again have the option of taking their children home after Sports Day. However, children are not permitted to leave the yard until all races/events have been completed.

School will operate as normal for those parents who wish their children to remain in class until the end of the school day.

Happy Easter!

Easter Holidays start today for LSC children and tomorrow we close at 11am for P1-P7! Happy Easter! See you all again on Monday 8th April.
