• Tiny Life Fundraiser

  Thu 17 Jan 2019 Miss Curran

  This time last year Mrs Tweedie had her little boy, and our very own KIPS miracle, baby Euan at 24 weeks. During this time, the charity Tiny Life helped to support Mrs Tweedie and her family. 

  As a thank you, the school arranged for a fundraiser to raise money for the charity.

  Both pupils and staff were busy all week having a bun safe, a coffee morning, a raffle and a nerf gun war.

  Thanks to this great effort from everyone and the support from our parents and the local community, we raised a total of £652.10!

   

  Thank you to David Healy, a Tiny Life ambassador and past Pupil for attending our coffee morning. 

  Thank you also to the Church of Ireland charity shop for their very generous donation!

• Integration works- Transforming your school

  Sat 03 Feb 2018 Integrated Education Fund

  Principal of Killyleagh Integrated Primary and Nursery School Jason Milligan, joined Derek Baker, Permanent Secretary at the DE, to launch the Department of Education official guide, ‘Integration Works’. Any school in Northern Ireland, except Special Schools or hospital schools, can apply to go through the process, termed “transformation”, to develop integrated status.

  Killyleagh PS, in County Down, became officially integrated in September 2016. Describing the school’s experience of the process, Jason Milligan said
  “It’s been well worth it. We have seen the school flourish in the year since transformation and the latest step was opening our new 26-place nursery, so that children can experience integrated education from an early age.” http://bit.ly/2DNX8PC
