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.

• Euro 2016

  Wed 08 Jun 2016

  Euro 2016 fever has well and truly hit Victoria Park! The school would like to wish the Northern Ireland National Team all the best in France. 

• Swimming Gala

  Tue 07 Jun 2016

  Well done to all the children who took part in the school swimming gala at Templemore Swim and Fitness Centre this morning. It was great to see so many parents come along and support everyone as well. Thanks to Mr Dunlop and Mrs Maguire for organising.

   

• P4-P7 Sports Day

  Tue 07 Jun 2016

  The P4-P7 Sports Day takes place on Friday morning on the back pitches at Inverary Playing Fields from 10.00am to 12.00pm. If possible, we would like the children wearing a T-shirt in the colour of their house. If they can't, the usual PE kit should be worn. No football shirts are allowed as always. The children should come to school in whatever they are wearing for taking part as there won't be time to get changed in school.

   

• P2 and P3 Sports Day

  Tue 07 Jun 2016

  The P2 and P3 Sports Day will take place on Wednesday morning in the playground weather permitting. P2 activities will start at 9.30am and should be over before 10.30am. P3 activities will start at 11.00am and should be over before 12.00pm. Parents are welcome to watch. 

• Inter-Area Cross-Country Challenge

  Mon 06 Jun 2016

  Well done to Ryan McKay (P7 Room 14) who was the sole representative from the school at the Inter-Area Cross-Country Challenge at Ormeau Park on Thursday morning. He qualified for it after finishing eighth in the Belfast finals a few weeks ago. The results haven't been published yet but this is a fantastic achievement as he is the first pupil from Victoria Park to progress to this stage. Well done Ryan and thanks to your dad for bringing you along!

• The Ulster Museum

  Fri 03 Jun 2016

  P2 had a very exciting time last week at The Ulster Museum when they discovered lots of new dinosaur facts. The children saw some huge dinosaur skeletons, listened to an explanation of extinction and even got to hold some fossilized dinosaur poo! A big thank you to all our helpful parent volunteers who accompanied us on this super trip. 

• P1 Sports Day

  Fri 03 Jun 2016

  The P1 Sports Day takes place on Tuesday morning 9.30-10.30am in the playground weather permitting. Parents are very welcome to come along and watch.

  It was great to see two of our former pupils, Beth and Erin Clark, helping out as volunteers at the PeacePlayers Super Sports Day today. What great role models for our pupils.
