• Noah the Fabulous Fundraiser

  Tue 07 Jan 2025

  A huge congratulations to Noah from Ms Flanagan's P6 class who raised an incredible £2,063.60 for Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice. Noah has been selected for TeamNI as part of the Barcelona Experience and will be heading to Spain in May for the Nations Cup tournament. The children are allowed to get sponsored and display logos on their kit. Noah and his family thought it would be a lovely idea to support a charity and approached the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice to fundraise and to display their logo on his kit to help give the charity some exposure. Noah's fundraising efforts included taking part in the Festive 5k at the V36 Valley Park where he came 38th out of 430 runners that included mostly adults. He also spent two hours in Tesco Newtownbreda doing a bucket collection. The class and their parents were significant contributors to this total and Noah and his family are so thankful for everyone’s generosity. Noah, your hard work and kindness are truly inspiring. Well done!

• Celebration of Diwali

  Mon 16 Dec 2024

  This year, the pupils and staff of St. Ita’s came together to create a vibrant display in celebration of Diwali. The main entrance of the school was transformed and adorned with beautiful artwork, created by the P1-7 children. Parents, Mrs Moharana and Mrs Mishra very kindly came into our school on Thursday 24th of October to share Diwali celebrations and engage in traditional artwork with the P1&2 children. We extend our sincere thanks to Mrs Moharana and Mrs Mishra for giving their time to make the celebration memorable and meaningful for the children.

• Well Done Girls

  Tue 10 Dec 2024

  Our P6/7 Camogs were a credit to themselves and their school last week when the took part in Cumann na mBunscol indoor competition.

   

  Across two days of competition, our girls played a total of 7 matches. They won 6 and drew 1, which put them in strong contention to collect the winner's trophy. Unfortunately, their drawn game was against another unbeaten school, Bunscoil Phobal Feirste so it all ended up going down to score difference with BPF just slightly ahead.

   

  The girls were naturally disappointed to have come so close, but it was brilliant to see their skills and talent over the course of the week. There is a lot more to come from this team when Championship time comes around in Term 3.

   

  Well done girls!

  

• Fitness Freddy

  Tue 10 Dec 2024

  The children had a special visitor for our most recent Feel Good Friday – Fitness Freddy from Energy Fitness! He has been working with schools, community groups and clubs for over 18 years putting the fun back into fitness. All year groups (including Nursery) had a half an hour slot of music (ranging from Taylor Swift to Toy Story!), dance, teamwork and jokes! The laughter, singing and high energy levels could be heard radiating from the hall during each session and the children definitely came out on a high! Freddy discussed the benefits of exercise and about finding a way of moving that you enjoy. Well done to all of the children who each received a ‘Fitness Freddy’ certificate!
