Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
We said goodbye today to our student teacher Miss Moore. Miss Moore has been with us these past two months as part of her placement from St Mary’s University College, Belfast.
With Miss Moore’s time with us finishing today, the P2 class, who she had been teaching, presented her with a going away gift and flowers as mark of their appreciation.
Thank you Miss Moore and don’t be a stranger!
Eilish is an extremely intelligent and hard-working pupil who absolutely loves school life. She is very caring, polite and well-mannered and always does what is asked of her. She produces fantastic pieces of work right across the curriculum day in and day out, and she always ensures her work is neat and presentable.
Eilish is a very enthusiastic learner and can retain information excellently. Eilish loves to use mathematical strategies like partitioning to help solve tricky maths problems and loves learning new things. She thrives in a working environment and loves a challenge. Eilish always tries her best and is always willing to help others. Eilish is a very avid reader and uses excellent vocabulary throughout Literacy work.
She is a fantastic role model for Sacred Heart PS and is a very worthy recipient of this award.
Well done!
Luke is a much valued member of the P2 class. He has a genuine interest in the world around him and is excited by new learning opportunities. He always gets involved in class discussion and has fascinating ideas.
Luke loves to share his learning with his teacher and classmates. He takes great pride in his work and always gives his best effort in every learning area. Luke greets staff politely and is kind, supportive and empathetic towards his peers.
We are very lucky to have Luke in P2, keep shining!
Well done!
As part of our involvement in Science Week, all the boys and girls from P1 to P7 were set a reading challenge.
Each child received a reading passport in which they could earn star stickers for reading various scientific related articles and books, either inside or outside school.
Pictured are those children who received ten or more stars on their passport that earned them a specially commissioned certificate from World Around Us co-ordinator Miss Crozier.
Well done!

All those children who earned certificates for the Science Week Challenge were entered into a prize draw for a scientific related prize.
Darragh was the lucky winner in the P1/P2 category as he took home with him ‘My First Science Kit.’ Noomi was drawn out as the P3/P4 winner and she was delighted to receive the ‘Rainbow Volcano Lava Lab.’ Charlie was picked out of the hat for the P5/P6/P7 section as he got the ‘Mega Science Series - Science Magic Kit.’
Enjoy your prizes everyone!
We were immensely proud this morning of our P7 pupil Ramona who put in an incredible performance in the final of Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Environmental Youth Speak Competition.
Ramona qualified for the last six after her entry was selected from 100’s from across the council area. Her speech, which centred on plastic pollution in our oceans, received unanimous praise. She was also the only competitor to do it without any prompt notes!
A wonderful experience in which she received second prize as runner up. Well done!
Our P3’s received the Sacrament of Reconciliation this afternoon in the Sacred Heart Church. Led by celebrant Canon Fleck, the boys and girls participated brilliantly in the service, contributing via song, music, drama and readings.
Thank you goes to Mr McCartan for leading the class in their preparations and to our classroom assistants Mrs Michelle Poland and Mrs Ciara Stratton for their support. Gratitude is extended to our school choir under the auspices of Mr Doyle for their beautiful singing and musical accompaniment.
Finally, to the boys and girls of P3. You have now reached another milestone on your spiritual journey. Well done!
Tickets (£1 a strip) go on sale tomorrow for our two Easter hampers. They can be bought from Annette in the yard between 8:45am and 8:55am and 3pm to 3:10pm. Children will get an opportunity to purchase throughout the school day as well. The draw will be made on Tuesday 4th April.
All proceeds will be going to Trócaire.
As part of our Lenten fundraising drive, this afternoon we held a sponsored ‘Sponge the Teacher’ event. The children’s excitement levels went through the roof for this venture! A fine total of £272.83 was raised for Trócaire.
Thank you goes to Miss McClean for organising it all. She was extremely popular with the teaching staff after they got their soakings! Well done too is relayed to our teachers who all participated so gamely.
