In March 2023, a ceramic artist, Shauna McCann, visited St. Ita’s and every class from P4-P7 participated in a workshop using clay. Each child from P4 to P7 created a tile based on the theme of Spring and Easter. All the individual tiles have been put together to make larger ceramic pieces. P4 and P5 tiles created a cross, P6 tiles created the sun and P7 tiles created the dove.

Mrs Gillespie, who has been a teacher in St Ita's since its opening is retiring from full time work. We held an assembly to celebrate her retirement. Everyone in St Ita's wishes Mrs Gillespie a very happy and healthy retirement.

Last week Rafay and his Mum started their day very early. They were up early to prepare a beautiful lunch for the entire St Ita's staff to thank them for Rafay's journey through St Ita's. 

Thank you both for such a wonderful gesture and a delicious lunch!

Our wonderful Musical Theatre teacher, Wilson is delighted that some St Ita’s pupils will be performing with him in the forthcoming Grand Opera House productions of Oliver and Evita. These young actors had the opportunity to visit this beautiful theatre recently so we couldn’t resist getting some photographs taken.

 We are so proud of our P7 Netball team who made it to the NI Primary School Championship Final on Saturday the 3^rd of June.

The girls competed in four matches, but sadly missed out on progressing to the final stage. The girls demonstrated fantastic teamwork 

skills and determination. Rose McCartan won 'Player of the Team' for St. Ita's. She played the position of WA with a high level of skill and confidence. 

Congratulations to all teams involved! 

The Moneyrea Football Tournament showcased the football talent of local teams along with some amazing individual performances. The highly competitive group stages resulted in  semi-finals being contested between teams from Comber, St Ita's, Gilnahirk and Academy Primary Schools After two hotly contested semi-finals, one of which saw a last kick of the ball equaliser and penalty shoot-out, Gilnahirk met St Ita's in the final. A tense, exciting match saw St Ita's run out as the 2023 winners of the Moneyrea Football Tournament. Congratulations boys! Thanks to everyone at Moneyrea and Dessie from DW Coaching for fantastic day and to Armstrong Meats for sponsoring the BBQ.
