On Friday 15th March, our Annual Irish Folk Dancing Festival was held alongside our St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. The adjudicator was Miss Carolyn McGinnell who was making her second appearance at the event. She is a past pupil of Ballyoran PS and agreed that ‘Everyone enjoys their dancing…’ The event was encouragingly supported by friends and family of the school and guest performers included Ms McCreesh-West, the school recorder group and Keelin Brennin from Year 6 who performed a set dance called, ‘The Blue-eyed Rascal’. Everyone who took part in the Festival received a medal and the major prize-winners included Niamh Garland, Catarina Sa and Hollie O’Neill. A huge thanks to all who helped make the day a success.
World Book Day is a day set aside every year to celebrate reading, books, authors and illustrators. It is marked in more than 100 countries around the world. This year it took place on Thursday 7th March 2013 and pupils were asked to come to school dressed as their favourite Book Character. Storyteller Steve Lally was in school and all pupils received a £1 Book Token which can be redeemed at Tesco or Easons. We thank all our pupils who entered into the spirit of this day as we celebrated books and reading.
This year's Confirmation took place on Saturday 2nd March 2013 in St John The Baptist Church. Twenty one Year 7 pupils were confirmed by the Vicar General, the Right Rev Dean ColmCurry . All the pupils were a credit to their families and the school.
