Our football team performed very well at this week's South Down Indoor 5-a-side tournament, held at Kilkeel Leisure Centre. The boys , played a total of 6 games, with a final record of 4 wins (v Annalong, Bronte, St Marys Newcastle and Iveagh), 1 draw (v Kilkeel PS) and 1 defeat.

They were only beaten by the eventual winners, St Mary's (Banbridge) and finished 3rd overall. This was a tremendous performance against some very strong opposition. Well done boys!

Occasionally we have had to close the school due to snow and ice, and I want to remind you on what basis such decisions are taken. Any exceptional closure such as this is unplanned, and is only due to unforeseen circumstances such as adverse weather conditions, power failure, or situations which affect the safety of pupils and staff.

Full information can be found in the 'Policies' section on the school website, under the heading entitled ‘Key Information’. I am hopeful that this will not be an issue this year, but as snow is often forecast throughout the winter months I thought it would be good to remind you of our procedures should the situation arise.

Anyone who wishes to enrol their child in Primary 1 in September 2017 please remember that application forms should be submitted to the school by Wednesday 11th January at 12noon.

Forms are still available from school or can be printed directly from the school website, under KEY INFORMATION - 'Admissions'
