CAROL SERVICE AND OPEN NIGHT 2018

13th Dec 2018

Wow!! Another fantastic Christmas Carol Service last night. Again our wonderful pupils were amazing & we are very proud of them all.

It is always a special time of year for all families connected to Ballylifford PS and the whole Ballinderry community and it was great to see so many people attend. It was a lovely celebration and an opportunity for all family members to enjoy. It highlighted the inclusiveness of the whole school with every pupil involved in the celebration. We would like to commend the all children who were fantastic in their preparation.

Thank you all the hard working and caring staff for preparing and assisting the pupils in their roles of the nativity scene, the narrators, readers of the prayers, the beautiful singing, and the pupils in the tin whistle group.

A special word of thanks to Mrs Sweeney who again has led the whole carol service. This year we had two wonderful new songs ‘Follow the Star’ and ‘Now Our Story has been Told’. Also this year, we had a prayer in Irish which is a reflection of the KS2 pupils learning the Irish language with Mrs Sweeney in weekly lessons.

We would like to thank Fr. Donnelly and John Wilson for providing the use of the chapel for all practices and on the night of the Carol Service.

It was great so see all families visit the school afterwards for our OPEN NIGHT and to observe the pupils engaed in the learning activities in all the classrooms and to get a feel for life in Ballylifford PS. We also hope you enjoyed the refreshments and a big thank you to our canteen staff, Brigid Ann & Orla for organising the refreshments and to our caretaker John and staff for having the school looking fantastic.
