We were delighted to welcome the First Minister of Northern Ireland, Mrs Arlene Foster to our school yesterday. She heard the choir sing "Truly Scrumptious" and then answered some difficult questions from our School Council.

Well done to the Boy's Team and Ella and Anna for their tremendous effort in the NI Finals Cross Country Race. There were approximately 200 runners in each race.

 

The race took place at City of Belfast Playing Fields, Mallusk.

 

They all should be very proud of themselves.

 

Thanks again to all parents who helped with lifts or came to support.

The boys have been competing in the Under 11 Cup this term.  We played Rowendale IPS in the First Round and beat them 4-0.

 

Our second round match was against Finaghy PS.  The boys again played very well, scoring some exciting goals, beating them 7-0.

 

We are now due to play Old Warren PS in the quarter finals at Laurelhill Sportszone on Thursday 3rd March @2:00pm.

 

Thanks again must go to Stuart and Matt who transported us using the 'Logic bus' and other people who travelled to give support.
