The school has been informed that some of the Teachers Unions will be on strike for part or all of the day on Tuesday 21st February.
Please be aware that this may cause significant disruption to the education of your child and may cause the school to close. The school will keep you informed regarding the impact of the strike as details and guidance become available over the next few weeks.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

As no doubt many of you will be aware, this is Infant Mental Health Awareness Week. Pre-school education settings play an important role in fostering good mental wellbeing which is so important for children’s development, and I thought it timely to re-share a couple of resources developed which you might find useful to share with parents regarding the importance of supporting their child’s emotional development and well-being.
The NI Mental Health Champion, Professor Siobhan O’Neill recorded a short video last year aimed at parents of young children (approximately age 0-4, although not age specific). She provides simple tips to parents/carers about what they can do to support their children's emotional health and wellbeing, and talks about how to encourage young children to express their feelings and the importance of self-care for parents/carers. She also draws on her experience as a parent of a young child – see link below.

As we are approach the end of the school term it may also be useful to share a link to an adapted version of the PHA’s ‘Take 5 steps to wellbeing’ message, which focuses on young children and gives parents ideas of simple things they can do at home with their child linked to the Take 5 steps.
