The school holds an annual Christmas Raffle to raise funds with prizes ranging from luxury food hampers to a large array of toys and other items. First prize in the raffle, a beautiful hamper was won by Siobhan McEvoy who was sold her ticket by Caillum Galbraith.
Proceeds from a Green Day fundraiser held in the first term of the year were also handed over with Student Council Representative, Rian Burns presenting a cheque for £150 to Rachel Buchanan from Women's Aid.
Earlier this month pupils had a chance to design a Christmas card. Primary Five pupil Chidera Kelechukwu was the overall winner in the competition with the designers of the best card in each class also receiving a prize.
