P7: Learning, Teamwork and New Friendships

11th Jun 2026

This morning our P7s met with Primary 7 pupils from St Mary’s, Kircubbin and St Patrick’s, Ballygalget for a fantastic Transition Day at St Joseph’s GAA Club, Ballycran. The children enjoyed Gaelic football and fun team-building activities led by an Ulster GAA Coaching Officer, developing their skills and making new friendships ahead of post-primary school. They also took part in an engaging session with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, where they learned essential first aid and life-saving skills. It was a wonderful day of sport, learning and collaboration, helping our P7 pupils prepare for the exciting journey ahead.
