Christmas Dinner
Christmas Dinner will be held on Thursday 4th December. This year, all children will have the opportunity to enjoy a Christmas meal free of charge, thanks to the incredible generosity of JBR Services. We are extremely grateful to Mr & Mrs J Robinson for sponsoring this special occasion. School will finish early at 1:10 pm for all pupils.

Daily Mile Santa Run & Walking Bus
On Friday, 5th December, we’ll be taking part in the Daily Mile Santa Run and our second Walking Bus Day (weather permitting).
Just like before, we’ll meet at Riverside Car Park, just behind Superstars Daycare, and leave promptly at 8:40am to walk to school via Castleview. Children are welcome to join us along the route as we pass through the estate.
We were delighted with the turnout last time and encourage as many families as possible to join us if you can. Please note: as we’ll be walking, no scooters or bikes should be brought along.
Children are invited to wear their festive clothes for this fun-filled occasion. If possible, please send a small donation on the day to support Changing Lives NI Charity.
