Well done to everyone on a fantastic sponsored walk. Thankfully the weather stayed on our side to allow us to walk all day. Have a look at these fantastic pictures. We even had a special visitor 🐰 A huge thanks to our fantastic PTA and Lidl, Strabane for donating treats to the children on the day. 🍫🍬

Well done to all the boys and girls for taking part in the egg decorating competition and congratulations to all the winners.
We were very pleased to host a Kids’ Court here in Artigarvan Primary School & Community Nursery. As many of you know, the busy road outside our school continues to be a concern for everyone.
Seven of our Year 7 pupils were chosen to take part in this special project. It was a wonderful opportunity for them, especially as they begin preparing for their move to secondary school and will soon have more responsibility for travelling to and from school.
We are extremely proud of how well the children represented Artigarvan Primary School. They were enthusiastic, eager to get involved, and keen to help raise awareness about road safety—especially the dangers of speeding near a school.
Take a look at some of the media coverage below and please do pass on the message to others- slow down, our children matter!

Today we welcomed members of the Baptist church who took us on an amazing journey. We got to meet characters from the Bible, listen to Bible stories and sample food from biblical times. We got an opportunity to dress in authentic costumes. Check out our photographs!
