FOSPA - Proud to have been involved in the P7 Leavers Assembly today!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped with the P7 Leavers Assembly - whether that be on the day or in the days leading up to the event. 🫶

From creating the treat bags to putting up the traditional balloon arch, and rolling out the red carpet to the P7 Leavers video - your support made the event run smoothly. 🎤💻🎈

It was fantastic to be able to support the school with such a meaningful and special occasion. Thanks for having us!

We wish all the P7s a wonderful summer and the very best as they head off to big school in September.

It’s a BIG day for P7 tomorrow with their ‘Leavers Assembly’.

As always - FOSPA members will be there to support and even provide that much needed tissue for all you parents/carers. Hard to believe it’s nearing the end of P7 🥲

As is tradition - treat bags are ready! We think they look fabulous. 👌

Huge thanks to Nuala Mc Alinden and the FOSPA members/P7 parents who donated special treats & worked hard to pull these together.

Enjoy the assembly 🫶

World Music Day

What a better way to celebrate World Music Day than by congratulating all our musicians who very bravely took to the stage for our Summer Music Recital this week.

We had a wide range of musical instruments in our showcase and our children put on an amazing show.

Well done to you all 🎵🎶🎵
