Christmas Carol Concert - This year our Christmas Carol Concert, featuring the children in P1, P2, P3, P4, P6 and the School Choir, will be held in the school hall on Tuesday 10th and Wednesday 11th December, starting at 1.30 p.m. each afternoon. Tickets for each performance will be available from the school office from Monday 2nd December. The allocation of tickets for each performance ensures that sufficient seating is arranged to ensure a safe environment for all concerned. A voluntary donation would be greatly appreciated.
We anticipate that performances on both days will end at 2.30 p.m. approximately when all children will be allowed to go home. P1 – P4 children may be collected from their classrooms. The opportunity to buy a ticket for a Christmas hamper will be available as you enter school.
