• Swimming Success!

  Wed 26 Oct 2016

  Matthew Hand in Year 7 Cuthbert has done it again!  Matthew has continued to build on his swimming successes in previous years by winning another gold and silver medal in the Ulster Schools Swimming Championship last weekend.

  Due to his birthday being in August, Matthew has to compete against boys in their 1st year of Secondary School.  In spite of this, Matthew amazingly won the Boys 12 years 50 m Breaststroke and came a very close 2nd in the Boys 12 years 50m Butterfly.

  We are so proud of the incredible way Matthew represents Braniel Primary School.  We wish him every success on February 17th as he has qualified to represent Braniel at the Irish Schools Championship.  Good luck, Matthew!

  

• Helping Hands prize winners

  Mon 17 Oct 2016
  Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to the recent 'Helping Hands' PTA fundraiser.  We gave out some special awards to pupils who had completed the most unusual task in each class.  Some of the more 'interesting' jobs the boys and girls did included: babysitting a tortoise, trimming dad's beard, brushing the dog's teeth, putting mum's hair in rollers and even clipping granny's toenails!!  We managed to raise just under £1000 - very impressive, indeed!
