Upcoming School Assessments From Tuesday 5th May to Thursday 14th May, pupils in school will be completing their scheduled assessments. These assessments give an important snapshot of pupils' learning and help teachers plan effectively for the remainder of the year. Primary 3 – Primary 7 pupils will complete Literacy, Numeracy and Reading assessments. Primary 2 pupils will complete Numeracy assessments. Regular attendance during this period is very important, as assessments take place across several days and each part contributes to an accurate picture of your child's progress. And there's something great to look forward to afterwards... Sports Day takes place on Friday 15th May – a wellearned and enjoyable celebration following a busy couple of weeks! We appreciate your continued partnership in supporting the pupils' learning!

First Holy Communion Congratulations to our wonderful Primary 4 pupils who received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion today at St. Patrick's Church, Downpatrick Parish. The pupils were outstanding throughout the service and were a true credit to their families and to our school. Sincere thanks to our Parish Priest, Fr O'Neill, and to our school chaplain, Fr Conway, along with Fr Kearney and Deacon Jackie, who concelebrated this very special Mass. A special word of appreciation also goes to our dedicated teachers and classroom assistants for their tremendous hard work and organisation in preparing the children so beautifully for this important sacrament. We hope all of our pupils enjoy celebrating this special occasion with their families and have a wonderful bank holiday weekend.

Primary 5 Shared Education Trip Our Primary 5 pupils had a fantastic day on their recent shared education visit to Cedar Integrated Primary School in Crossgar. The children loved meeting pupils from another school and quickly formed new friendships throughout the day. Everyone got involved in a variety of fun outdoor activities, including football, basketball, multisport games and ball games. There was great teamwork on show and lots of smiles as the pupils encouraged one another and enjoyed taking part. The day concluded with a relaxed picnicstyle lunch, giving everyone time to chat and enjoy each other's company. It was a truly lovely day, thoroughly enjoyed by all and filled with happy memories!
