• Junior Choir perform brilliantly at the 'Big Light Switch On'

  Thu 23 Nov 2017

  What a ‘Brilliant Performance!

  The Junior Choir was invited to perform at the ‘Big Light Switch On’ event at the Four Winds restaurant. The children sang a variety of Christmas carols and had fun being on stage. This is always a lovely event to begin our Christmas season and the children really enjoyed having the opportunity to perform in front of Santa. Despite the freezing conditions the junior choir did themselves proud, sang beautifully and melted the hearts of everyone in the audience.

  Fri 10 Nov 2017

  Well done to P7 pupils Dylan Lunny and Peter Murchan who recently represented St Ita’s Primary School at the Swim Ulster Schools Cup and Championships in the Aurora in Bangor. With hundreds of competitors coming from all parts of Ulster from Letterkenny to Ballyshannon, competition was fierce! Both boys did themselves proud in their respective heats and although no medals were won, it was a fantastic experience!
