The penultimate month of school life in Sacred Heart P.S. this academic year has just passed and our teachers were given the opportunity to select their top pupils from May. Eimíle P1, Islay P2, Penelope P3, Kasia P4, Ruadhán P5, Elsie P6 and Daniel P7 were awarded this recognition and we congratulate them all!

Darlene P5

Darlene is an exceptionally clever and hardworking student who consistently demonstrates a high level of dedication to her studies. She is also both kind and polite, treating all pupils and staff with respect and consideration. 

Darlene approaches every task with enthusiasm, never hesitating to try her hand at new challenges. Her willingness to help others fosters a collaborative and supportive classroom environment. 

Her Numeracy and Literacy skills are of a very high standard, and she continuously improves by applying the new techniques and knowledge acquired during class lessons.

Darlene's positive attitude and commitment to learning make her a role model for her peers and her consistent effort and cheerful demeanour ensure that she is a joy to have in the class. She shows great potential for future academic success.

Well done!

Our P4’s celebrated the Sacrament of First Holy Communion today. Another step on their spiritual journey. Well done to you all!

P6 and P7 learned some vital life skills as they recently undertook Junior Medic First Aid training.

The boys and girls were led through a number of areas including staying safe and spotting hazards, calling 999, bandaging, dealing with unconscious casualties, the recovery position, CPR, choking sequences, introduction to defibrillators, why we use defibrillators, how to use a defibrillator and hands on practice.

Life skills in relation to First Aid are vitally important and we now have a cohort of pupils who are equipped with a range of competencies in this particular sphere.

The netball team travelled to Newcastle to participate in a tournament hosted by St. Mary's P.S. The girls had a great time, playing some very competitive matches against a number of other schools. A huge thank you to St. Mary's P.S. for inviting us and being great hosts.

Chester’s Challenge is a fun, interactive three session health promotion and education programme that Miss Crozier’s P6/P7 class are currently undertaking as part of their ‘Human Body’ WAU topic.

Featuring the Chester monkey character, Chester’s Challenge is adapted to tie in with the curriculum, with workshops focusing on healthy eating, keeping active, screen time and sleep.

Our classroom assistant Alice McAlea brought the O’Hare Cup (Ulster LGFA IFC) into school today. Alice won the title along with her Down team mates after a superb win over Monaghan on Sunday in Clones.

The cup done a tour of every class and even made it over to Young at Heart who also enjoyed the celebrations.

Rosie-Leigh P4

This pupil has shown exceptional dedication and hard work in every lesson. Her reading skills have significantly improved, particularly in summarising and predicting. Her handwriting is excellent and she consistently demonstrates great concentration in all tasks.

This pupil is not only a helpful and confident student who readily participates in class discussions but she also possesses remarkable dramatic skills. Her lovely manners and kindness towards others, especially her patience towards younger children, are truly commendable.

Congratulations Rosie-Leigh on being ready for Primary 5! Your hard work and wonderful attitude makes you a deserving recipient of this award. You are a shining star in our school. Keep up the great work!

Well done!
