School Funday

Thank you for the tremendous support at our PTA Funday. A profit of £3,090 was raised for our school. It was great to see such wonderful turnout. We greatly appreciate the support of all our parents who were able to help out on the day.

Our thanks to all the PTA members and staff who made the event possible.

School Meals

If you have received a letter from the Education Authority Southern Region regarding free school meals, it is important that you reply as soon as possible. Failure to do so will result in your child’s name being removed from the free school meals list held by the Board. A new application will then have to be made in September.

Netball

St Mary's Netball Club held its annual club tournament in early June and a great day was had by all. A netball tournament for local schools was hosted by the club in Banbridge Leisure Centre and it proved to be a great success, with one of our teams winning sliver. Well done to all involved! A final blitz for the year was held in Craigavon Leisure Centre for our P7 and some P6 players and the girls thoroughly enjoyed participating. Well done and congratulations to all the girls who took part in the club this year. We wish our P7 members all the best for the future.
