A massive thanks to the parents who attended the IT Night.

Please share this link with anyone you believe may find it useful!

A number of questions  arose at the end of the session about Internet safety and the dangers involved. The  website in the link below explains all about the various types of social media your children be active on and the dangers. 


Finally, here  is a link to useful lessons which you could look at with you children if you are worried about their internet safety!

Credit Union Quiz Winners

Well done to the under 11 and under 13 teams who performed with great distinction on  Sunday the 31st of January.  They completed the double by winning both age categories and we couldn't be prouder of them. They put in a lot of hard work but it definitely paid off. They now go forward to the county final on the 27th of February. Watch this space for more updates!!
