Anniversary Christmas Tree Festival

In 2017 we will be celebrating the 60th anniversary of our current school and 150 years since a school has stood on this site and we intend to have a range of events throughout the year to mark the occasion. We kicked off our celebrations with a Christmas Tree Festival on the 9th and 10th December. The Minister for Education, Mr Peter Weir, cut the ribbon on Thursday evening and over the next few days hundreds of pupils, past pupils, parents and friends came to see our display. Thanks to all those who helped create the display of 30 trees and to the PTA for providing the refreshments. If you didn't get to this event I hope you weren't too disappointed and that you can join us at one of our others in the future. Below you can see a sample of what you missed.
