Yesterday the Primary 6 and 7 children enjoyed their last Mandarin class of the year. The children have been collecting 'panda stamps' all year for their fantastic work in Mandarin. Today they got to total their stamps and have a 'lucky dip' into Miss Pang's wonderful prize bag. The children loved being rewarded for their hard work throughout the year. Thank you so much to Miss Pang who has worked so hard with the children creating fantastic interactive lessons that the children have really enjoyed. We will miss you Miss Pang when you return to China, we really enjoyed your time here in St Ita's over the last two years.

Goodbye and all the best Miss Pang!!!!

Some photos of last Friday’s Sports Day.

During the month of June, we pray in a special way to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Today, we were delighted to receive a beautiful statue of the Sacred Heart, kindly gifted by Mrs Allen’s mother.

Throughout June, we will share meaningful prayers during our assemblies, helping the children to reflect and prepare for the Feast of the Sacred Heart on 12th June.

We invite you to join us at home by saying this simple prayer with your children:
“O Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in You.”

Our final Class Assembly of the school year was brought to us by Mrs Cleland's P2 class. Commotion in the Ocean reminded us that we must be kind to our planet. To see this wonderful colourful assembly, please click here

On Friday our P4 pupils received the Sacrament of the Eucharist in the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We enjoyed two beautiful services and we hope you enjoy these photographs.

When I Grow Up was the theme of Miss McQuade's P1 Class Assembly. To see this wonderful assembly, please click here.

We have had two incredible performances of Moana by our P7 pupils. We thought you might like to see a few photos of the stars of the show.

Thank you to everyone involved in getting the show to the stage. It was truly a Herculean effort by St Ita's staff. Thanks to Belvoir Players for all their help. A special word of thanks must go to Mr Wilson Shields who has nurtured, taught and encouraged the amazing talent within our school.

Finally we would like to thank our P7 pupils for their hard work, dedication, resilience and phenomenal talent that made Moana such a magical success.

Last night our P7 pupils gave us an epic treat! The second and final performance of Moana takes place this evening - enjoy!

Mrs Cunningham's P1 Class gave us 'The Zebras Who Lost Their Stripes' in their assembly, a story all about friendship. To see this wonderful assembly, please click here.

Esmé from Miss Houston's P4 class was part of history in the making this week when Northern Ireland became the first part of the UK to provide free sign language classes to all deaf children and their families. Esmé was at Stormont representing Action Deaf Youth (ADY). This was to celebrate a new sign language law that was passed on Tuesday. The Sign Language Bill (Northern Ireland) 2025 will put a duty on the Department for Communities to provide free classes for deaf people under-25 and their close families, guardians, and carers. Well done, Esmé!
