School will close at 12noon on Tuesday 30th June.

Dear Parents & Guardians, 

It has been a bittersweet week as we said goodbye to our fabulous Primary 7 classes and our wonderful little nursery pupils -  BUT hello to our new intake of Primary 1 pupils for September 2026! The sun shone for our graduation ceremonies and they were wonderful occasions for our whole school community. There were some tears (from pupils and staff) but we know they are ready for the next chapter. Our 'new' Primary 1s settled really well for their 'stay and play' session.  They seemed very happy to be 'big' St. Clare's Abbey pupils.  We feel very honoured to have been chosen as their primary school and will try our best for them all.

Special staff recognition this week goes to Mrs McParland and Mrs Curran who travelled to The Merchant Hotel on Wednesday night as invited guests at the ICT Excellence Finalists' Award Night.  We are so proud of the work they have led in ICT provision and it is wonderful to be applauded by the Education Authority & Capita. Our pupils are so lucky!  

Today, our pupils met their new teacher and classroom team.  This is a lovely tradition and settles everyone for the upcoming year.  We anticipate another great year in St. Clare's Abbey.   

School will finish for pupils on Tuesday 30^th June at 12noon. 

Please remember to send in any washed uniforms for our preloved store.  If you would like to avail of uniforms, we will host another 'shop' early September. 

I hope the beautiful weather continues and I wish you a lovely, relaxed  family weekend.  

Thank you for your unwavering support,  

Mrs Donnelly
