  Dear Parents

  I am aware that there is much uncertainty and anxiety due to the Coronavirus. Teachers will be in school on Monday to prepare work for pupils should schools be told to close. We will follow the advice of the Public Health Agency and the Department of Education and will inform you if any changes by Facebook, our school website, email and text. We need to all work together, keep a cool head and a warm heart.

  Peter Campbell.

• Irish Dancing

  Fri 13 Mar 2020
  Our very talented Irish Dancers entertained children from Bangor Central Nursery as well as our Year 1 pupils. They showed the children how they could dance with soft shoes and hard shoes while performing a jig or a reel. The boys and girls then had the chance to dance in a reel with our Irish Dancers. What a lovely treat on the run up to St Patrick's Day!

  

• Priory College Challenge Cup

  Fri 06 Mar 2020
  Today boys and girls from Year 6 and Year 7 took part in the Priory Cup at Eddie Irvine Sportsplex. There were 20 teams of boys and 16 teams of girls split into different groups. The cup was well organised and ran smoothly. Our girls had only trained together for 6 weeks and represented our school proudly. The girls lost their semi- final match against Grange, while our boys won their final group match against Towerview and brought home a trophy. Overall it was a great day of football for BCIPS.

• Internet Safety for Pupils and Parents

  Mon 10 Feb 2020

  Tuesday 11th February 2020 marks Internet Safety Day. As a school we have decided to make it an internet safety week, as there is so much information to take in, such as safe searching on the internet, playing safely online and most important, social media. Every class in the school will be discussing the elements of Internet Safety using the official theme from the UK Safer Internet Centre, 'Free to be Me'

  There are many ways you can keep your children safe online at home, especially surrounding screen time, age related games and social media. There are poster which outline parental tips and give guidance for these areas

  

• Children's Mental Health Awareness Week

  Sun 09 Feb 2020
  This week we took time out of our busy days to focus on children's mental health. From additional physical activity, to enjoying the winter sunshine and getting more fresh air, all our pupils' took time to reflect on their own mental health and how it is just as important to look after our mind as well as our body.
