November Information

06 November 2019

Welcome from Mrs Taylor

May I take this opportunity to thank the school community for your warm welcome to Portstewart Primary and Nursery Unit. I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting the children and look forward to working with you all.

Flu vaccination

The flu vaccination was due to take place on Thursday 7th November. Due to a shortage of supplies of the vaccination across Northern Ireland the vaccination will not take place on Thursday 7th November. It will be rearranged for mid-December when additional supplies of the vaccination have come in. Parents will be contacted about the new date for the flu vaccination. 

Mad Hair Day

As you are aware on Thursday 7th November we are inviting pupils to participate in our ‘Mad Hair Day’ event to raise money for the charity ‘Stand By Me’. Pupils should wear school uniform to school on ‘Mad Hair Day’. To continue our sponsorship of an Ethiopian girl called Birtukan. All pupils, including nursery are invited to contribute a minimum of £1.00 to participate in ‘Mad Hair Day’.

Keen gardeners wanted!

We are looking to develop our use of our school Polytunnel. If you are a keen gardener and would be willing to work with a class or small group of children as a Parent Volunteer please contact Mrs Taylor or Mrs Smyth.
