Welcome to the News section of the website. I hope you find it interesting and useful in keeping you informed of the many events that happen in Victoria Park School.

• Tollymore Forest Park

  Thu 07 Apr 2016

  Mrs Beatty and Mr Dunlop report that the children from Room 13 have had a great time on their adventure walk in Tollymore Forest Park this afternoon. The weather has been fantastic. Getting ready for the night line and campfire tonight.

• Delamont

  Wed 06 Apr 2016

  The children from Mr Ryden's class had a fantastic time at Delamont over the last two days. They were so enthusiastic during all the activities and their exemplary behaviour was commented on by the staff at Delamont. I'm sure they'll sleep well tonight! More photos to follow tomorrow.

• Delamont

  Tue 05 Apr 2016

  The children from Mr Ryden's class have survived their first day (and night!) at Delamont. A change of plan meant that they went canoeing on Strangford Lough in the afternoon. The children absolutely loved it, particularly jumping off the pier into the water at the end! After dinner, they went to the adventure park in Delamont, negotiated a 'night line' in the words and then sat round a campfire toasting marshmallows. A late night but a super end to a fantastic day. The last room to go to sleep is naturally the first one up - an hour too early as well! Mentioning no names (Evan, Lewis R, Ryan M, Danny, Samuel, Ben S, Cameron and Ben W). A little bit of rain today but they are planning to go on an adventure walk through Tollymore Forest this morning. The group should be back at school for around 3.45pm hopefully. There is no wi-fi at the centre unfortunately so photographs will be up later.

• Delamont

  Mon 04 Apr 2016

  For the parents of P7 children who are going to Delamont this week, the Powerpoint Mr Ryden showed at the parent information meeting before Easter is available to view on the school website. It can be found in the Parents area in the 'Information for Parents' folder and then click on 'Delamont'. The children going can come in at 9.30am on the morning they leave if they wish (Mr Ryden's class - Tuesday; Mrs Maguire's class - Thursday). Please remember that mobile phones, iPads and any other electronic devices are not permitted.

• Easter break

  Fri 01 Apr 2016

  Hope everyone has had a safe and relaxing Easter break. A reminder that school starts back tomorrow at the usual time. There will be no clubs this week, including waiting club. Swimming starts again for P4 and P7 next Monday. Fingers crossed the weather will improve for our P7 residential trips this week to Delamont!
