Calm spaces = happy learners!

Positivity at Kirkistown!

Such a positive day all round!

What a wonderful morning at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Cloughey!
Our pupils were delighted to be invited to sing at the church’s 12-hour Praise-a-thon, raising funds to help connect their partner church in Ngwenya, Eswatini to electricity.
The children sang beautifully and did Kirkistown Primary proud!
A huge thank you to Mr Irwin, who was exceptional on the piano and in leading the children with such enthusiasm.
Well done, everyone — a fantastic effort for a wonderful cause!
Go Team Eswatini. We can’t wait to hear all about it.

I’m delighted to be starting my new role as Principal of Kirkistown Primary School on Wednesday.
It’s a real privilege to join such a wonderful school and community, and I’m looking forward to getting to know our pupils, families, staff and the wider community in the weeks ahead.
With the beach right on our doorstep, I’m excited about the opportunities for fun and learning that make Kirkistown such a special place. You will always receive a warm welcome at Kirkistown, and I look forward to getting to know many of you soon.
