• Principal’s Award

  Fri 15 Sep 2023

  Hugh is an extremely kind and well-mannered student who loves school life and enjoys learning. He is a hard worker who has a keen eye for learning new facts and telling them to the class. Hugh always comes into school with a smile on his face and is full of enthusiasm to learn something new each day. 

   

  He has a great personality and shows a caring nature to help others when they need it whether that is outside in the playground or in the classroom. 

   

  Hugh retains information excellently and Mr McCartan is really impressed with how he has been staying concentrated and focused on tasks. 

   

  Hugh is a very deserving winner of this award as he continues each day to be a great role model for Sacred Heart P.S.

   

  Well done!

  The project was funded by a ‘School Pollinator Garden Grant’ in partnership with ‘Live Here Love Here’ and ‘DAERA.’

   

  Miss Crozier, as the lead in Eco activities in school, initiated and took charge of the project from the outset. We would like to thank her for her efforts. We also extend our gratitude to Paddy Cunningham (Cunningham’s Flowers) and Noel Cunningham (NC Civils) for their guidance and industry in ensuring that the undertaking was completed to the highest standards.

• Principal’s Award

  Fri 08 Sep 2023

  Jessica P2

   

  The Principal’s Award this week goes to P2 student Jessica. Jessica has been working exceptionally hard so far since we have come back and she has really shown the way for all. 

   

  Jessica displays excellent manners every day and always puts her hand up to ask a question and participate. She is a great friend to everyone and is always ready for work. 

   

  Jessica also enjoys Numeracy and has super fun during some of the starter games the class have been playing before they begin classwork. 

   

  Jessica takes her time and ensures all of her work is neat and tidy. She loves to read and really enjoys quiet time on the mat to catch up on a book after she has completed her work. Jessica has made a fantastic start to P2.

   

  Well done!
