• Mathematical Association's Primary Mathematics Challenge

  Sat 23 Mar 2024

  A massive well done to Loghan from P7 Room 14 on being the first Victoria Park pupil to ever sit the bonus round of the Mathematical Association's Primary Mathematics Challenge (we had two boys, Harrison Brown and Gavin Wang, who had previously reached the bonus round in 2021 but they never actually got the opportunity to take it because of the lockdown). He received this certificate from the organisers to recognise his achievement.

  

• Acrobatic Gymnastics and Tumbling Championships

  Thu 21 Mar 2024

  On Sunday, five of our incredible P6 and P7 gymnasts competed in Northern Ireland Schools’ Acrobatic Gymnastics and Tumbling Championships at Bangor Aurora. We had Bai and Sonia as well as Rosa and Oliwia competing in the acrobatic pairs and Renée competing in the tumbling section. This is our first year of running Gymnastics Club at Victoria Park and we are so proud to see what the girls achieved in such a short time under the expert tutelage of Mrs Hamilton and Mrs Perrott. It was a tough competition and we are so pleased with the girls’ achievements, as well as how supportive they have been of each other and how committed they’ve been to attend practices running up to the competition. It was a fabulous day. Well done girls and a massive thank you to Mrs Hamilton and Mrs Perrott for an incredible amount of hard work leading this new club for the school and giving up part of their weekend to accompany the team.

  

• BPSFA 5-a-Side Semi-Finals

  Wed 06 Mar 2024

  Our girls did themselves proud this reaching the semi-final stage at the BPSFA 5-a-Side Tournament finals at Shankill Leisure Centre this afternoon. After three draws against Lowwood, Seaview and Nettlefield and a narrow loss against eventual winners, Lisnasharragh, in the group stage, they then played the winners of the other pool, Holy Child, in the semis as runners-up. Our girls took the lead but Holy Child quickly equalised and the score remained 1-1. It then went to extra-time and Holy Child scored in the closing minute. A massive well done to Tanya and the team on the superb performances over the two afternoons.
