• 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.

• 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!

  It’s all about ‘Under the Sea’ for our P1 class as they headed to Exploris in Portaferry today as a further part of the exploration of their current World Around Us topic.

• Colour Run

  An amazing afternoon was had today as we held our first ever Colour Run! All the boys and girls from Young at Heart and Sacred Heart P.S. gamely participated in a mile long walk, jog and run in aid of Daisy Lodge (Cancer Fund for Children) and school funds.

   

  A fantastic time was enjoyed by everyone and with a vast array of colours on show it ensured a bright end to the week was had by all! Thank you to Dundrum GAC for the use of their pitch, to organiser Mrs Claire McGuigan, to all those staff and parents who helped out during the event and to Graham Crory of ActiSport for his warm up and musical entertainment.

   

  To coincide with our event, our P4 pupil Ruadhán has been running a mile a day throughout the month of April to raise funds for Daisy Lodge.

• Principal’s Award - P5

  Fri 28 Apr 2023

  Delilah’s application towards her work is fantastic. She is committed to doing her best every single day. She is a hugely enthusiastic learner who constantly takes on tasks with energy. She shows great character and always exudes kind, respectful and helpful mannerisms when interacting with her peers.

  Delilah has a vibrant imagination and excels in creative writing tasks. The progress she is making month after month is remarkable in this regard and I hope she continues to flourish.

  Attitude is everything and it is very clear that Delilah possesses a ‘can do’ mantra with her schooling. 

  Well done Delilah! Keep up all the great work!

• World Daily Mile Day

  Thu 27 Apr 2023

  Today the pupils of Sacred Heart P.S. took part in the very first World Daily Mile Day and it was a great success! Everyone walked down to the local viewpoint at Murray’s Green, looking out on to Dundrum Bay.

  The Daily Mile is a super initiative which focuses on improving children’s mental and physical health through exercise. It also promotes classroom breaks like this today to enhance concentration and attentiveness during lessons. The pupils of the school thoroughly enjoyed the celebration and had great fun amongst their peers. 
  The ice lollies from Brennan’s were really appreciated too!
