• Caoilainn is an absolute Star!

  Mon 15 Nov 2021

  What an Amazing act of Generosity by Caoilainn!

  Caoilainn (P5) has been growing her hair since she was small and over the summer holidays she decided to cut her hair and donate it to the Little Princess Trust.  Caoilainn has donated 29cm of her hair, which will be used to create a wig for a child who has lost their hair due to treatments he or she was having in hospital. 

   

  Alongside the hair donation, Caoilainn’s mum and dad set up a ‘Just Giving’ page, so family and friends could donate to the Little Princess Trust in support of her. They would like to thank all the children who donated money, many of whom are in Caoilainn’s class.

   

  Caoilainn has managed to raise an incredible £885 for this wonderful charity.

   

  We are all very proud of Caoilainn, as she chose to do a very brave thing, to help other children who are very sick.

   

  Mrs Browne presented Caoilainn with her two certificates from the Little Princess Trust and in light of this huge fundraising effort the Little Princess Trust, has also awarded Caoilainn a badge and wristband in recognition of her outstanding contribution. 

   

  Well done Caoilainn. You are an absolute star!

  

• St Ita’s Student Representatives Visit Parliament Buildings, Stormont.

  Wed 03 Nov 2021

  The Primary 6 and 7 student representatives and Mrs Browne were delighted to accept an invitation to attend Parliament Buildings on Thursday 21st October. We enjoyed a tour of the Great Hall and debated in the Council Chamber where our MLAs meet regularly . We also learned how we can become MLAs and how to propose a Bill in the Assembly. We extend a big thank you to the Education Officer, Anne-Marie Fleming, for sharing so much information with us. We had a very enjoyable and informative morning.
