🌟 What a Fantastic Start to the New School Year! 🌟
We have had a wonderful first few days back at Orritor Primary School and Nursery Unit. It has been fantastic to see our pupils return with such enthusiasm, excitement and smiles as they settled into their new classes, met their new teachers and reconnected with friends. 😊
It has also been great to have all of our staff back together again. The dedication, energy and care shown by our entire team over the first few days have helped create such a positive start to the year. We were also delighted to welcome new members of staff to the Orritor family and look forward to the contribution they will make to our school community. 👏
A particularly special welcome goes to our new Nursery and Primary 1 pupils. Starting school is a huge milestone, and we have been so proud of how well they have settled into their new surroundings. From meeting their teachers and making new friends to exploring classrooms and outdoor play areas, they have already begun creating happy memories. We hope their first taste of life at Orritor Primary School has been filled with fun, excitement and a sense of belonging. ❤️
The sound of laughter, learning and friendship has once again filled our classrooms and corridors. Seeing our school alive with activity reminds us what a special place Orritor is and how fortunate we are to be part of such a caring and supportive community.
