• Confirmation 2023

  Thu 11 May 2023

  This afternoon the P7 boys and girls of Sacred Heart P.S. celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation. It was a truly uplifting ceremony led by Canon Fleck.

   

  Those receiving the Sacrament had instrumental roles during the service through the readings, prayers of the faithful and the singing of the Psalm. Well done goes to the pupils for their fantastic contribution to the event. 

   

  Thank you is reserved for their class teacher Miss Crozier for preparing and guiding the children. We also acknowledge the sterling contributions of our classroom assistants, Annette Kelly, Maria Hogg and Cora Peters. Gratitude is also directed to our school choir under the instruction of Mr Doyle along with Cora Kelly for the wonderful music and song.

  

• Forest School

  Wed 10 May 2023

  Miss Crozier’s P6/P7 class went to Dundrum Castle to take part in a Forest School lesson today. 

   

  The boys and girls used the Hapa-Zome printing technique to create some beautiful prints using all natural materials. 

   

  Hapa-Zome is a Japanese term meaning 'leaf-dye.’ It formed part of an expressive arts session with learning in the areas of fabric absorbency and natural dyes.

  

• Trócaire Presentation

  Wed 10 May 2023

  This afternoon a representative from Trócaire visited Sacred Heart P.S. to receive a cheque for £900 from the school. The money was raised through a range of initiatives over the period of Lent, organised by our RE co-ordinator Miss McClean. 

   

  Thank you to our school community who gave so generously for such a worthwhile cause. Your support for this charity has really made a difference.

  

• P3 Safari Brochures

  Tue 09 May 2023

  Mr McCartan’s P3 class created safari brochures to round up their WAU topic of ‘The Jungle.’ With this undertaking, they used the Green Screen to create a safari background and they also talked about their safari and why you should visit it!

   

  The class used iPads to research information and also used alliteration in their titles such as the ‘Spectacular Safari’ so that it would sound catchier and stand out. 

   

  The children thoroughly enjoyed coming to the front of the class and explaining why people should choose their offering.

  

• GAA County Representation

  Mon 08 May 2023

  Well done to our P6 pupil Cara who represented her school and club with pride as she was selected to play at halftime in today’s Ulster LGFA Championship game in Páirc Esler between Down and Derry.

• Volleyball Tournament

  Wed 03 May 2023

  A panel of 24 boys and girls ventured to the Down Leisure Centre this morning to take part in the inaugural schools’ volleyball competition. Spa P.S., St Columban’s P.S. Kilkeel and Ballywalter P.S. were also in attendance.

  Sacred Heart P.S. entered six teams with four players in each side. Everyone got to play a host of competitive games with some fantastic skills on display. The quartet of Max, Oisin, Effie and Erin made it the whole way to the Cup Final only to be defeated in a cracking game by a representation from Spa P.S.

  A big thank you goes to Mr McCartan and Miss Crozier for introducing volleyball into our school and for their commitment to coaching it over the last few months.

  Well done boys and girls for a sterling effort with this new sporting initiative!
