RRS – Fun 31 Celebration
To commemorate Article 31 of Children’s Rights, pupils participated in our first Fun 31 afternoon where they explored their right to relax, play and culture. Some of the activities they chose to take part in were pyjama parties, movies, construction activities and a VE Day street party! Children really enjoyed this experience and are already looking forward to celebrating this right in term 4.
Free Dance Sessions
We have a small amount of funding to provide after school dance sessions for Primary 7 pupils who already have an interest in dance from:
3.00pm-4.30pm Fridays: 24 April, 1/8/15/22/29 May, 5 June
With a final show in The Big Top, Dean Castle on Thursday 11th June, 7pm.
Sessions will take place in St Joseph’s Academy gym hall and we thought it might be a nice opportunity for a transition event, with children who have shared interest in dance socialising and dancing together. Children will have the opportunity to work with professional dance artists and take part in jazz and hip-hop sessions. It will mean that pupils will need to leave early from school on Friday to get to the venue for 3 and this would be a parental responsibility. All sessions are totally free.
If you would be happy with this being offered to your pupils then please share the link to the application:

Mount Carmel Football team
Our wonderful football team, along with coach Ricky and our active schools coach Faye, took part in a match with Dundonald Primary school on Monday night. They played brilliantly and represented our school with pride! (And looked amazing with our new school sports kit too).
