Here’s what’s been happening in Gracehill

Owen Daley 7-a-side Football Tournament Success

A massive well done to our school football team who competed in the annual Owen Daley 7-a-side tournament. 

They played 8 games and scored 14 goals including a bicycle kick from Rory to top their group. 

They met Buick Memorial in the semi-final and two super strikes from Logan and Rory helped them into the final against St. Mary's Portglenone. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be as St Mary's scored a winner in extra time. 

However, our boys can be extremely proud to have made it to the final 2 teams out of 18. They played with freedom and creativity and it was a joy to watch them during the day.

You represented our school brilliantly, well done. 

Ulster Hockey Blitz

Our P6 and P7 girls hockey had a brilliant day representing our school in the Ulster Hockey Blitz hosted at Parkhall’s astroturf pitches.

Well done girls!

Clubs are back in action!

We are delighted that children have the opportunity to try rugby, hockey, football, netball, ukulele, orchestra and Scripture Union this term.

All our clubs run from 3-4pm. More info is on the Friday News Sheet.

P3’s visit the Castle

The P3 classes took a walk to Galgorm Castle as part of their World Around Us learning.

They even bumped into a very special character who was able to tell them all about the castle.

See if you can spot him below!

P5 Trip to Breckenhill

Primary 5 had a superb day getting to know their new classmates over a friendly game of paintball!

The boys and girls had a wonderful day away and got to experience so much. It was a great day forming new friendships and enjoying old ones too.
