Inter Generational Project:

Over recent weeks, a group of third year pupils has enjoyed regular visits to the nearby Law View Senior Sheltered Housing complex in Overtown. Building on the contact of previous years, pupils and their new senior friends have been sharing thoughts on the modern way of love compared to that the older members of the group knew when they were teenagers.

The Parent Council of St. Aidan's Primary School is having a Summer Fayre on Saturday 8th June. To this end they are looking for any donations to assist in making the Fayre a great success.

All donations are welcome.

Donations can be sent directly to the school or can be collected by a member of the Parent Council.
