• Outdoor Classroom

  Sat 25 May 2019
  The Sacred Heart PS school community is extremely grateful to a number of parents who gave so generously of their time, skills and expertise to create a beautiful outdoor classroom for the children to avail of in the good weather. Special thanks goes to Mr Jonathan McMullan, Mr Noel Cunningham, Mr Stephen McIntosh, Mr Gary Tumelty, Mr Bobby Murdock, Mr John Smyth, Mr Paddy Cunningham, PoSH for fundraising for materials and to anyone else who assisted in anyway with the classroom. We are surely the envy of other schools with this new addition to our school facilities- complete with toadstool tables, log seats, blackboard, water fountain, bug hotel, bird feeder and beautiful flowers. The children are hugely enthusiastic to learn in their new outdoor environment and will undoubtedly make memories that last forever!

• Easter Activities

  Thu 18 Apr 2019

   

   

  We have had a very busy but enjoyable Easter at Sacred Heart PS. On Monday, we had a Cake & Bun Sale to raise money for all of the good work of Trocaire. There was over £300 raised- which was a great total- huge thanks to parents and grandparents who supported the Sale!

   

   On Tuesday there was a special Assembly on Holy Week led by the P1 children. It was fantastic and included drama, singing, poetry - there was even sign language. Our Easter Raffle was held and the winners were; 1st Prize Evgenia Rankin, 2nd Prize Mairead Mc Mullan, 3rd Prize Isla Trainor , 4th Prize Darragh Ward and 5th Prize Niamh Roche. Well done to all of our Easter Winners. 

   

  On Wednesday we held our annual Easter Egg Hunt. Each class was challenged to find small coloured Easter Eggs hidden around the school grounds- all classes had great fun and were successful. They were rewarded with a class set of Easter Eggs. 

   

  We look forward to seeing all of our pupils back on Monday 29th April and hope all of our families have a lovely Easter Break!
