Donard School held it's Banbridge-themed Sports Day on Wednesday 7th June. The pupils were divided into 7 teams with pupils from across the School represented in each team. After a parade of teams Classes 1, 7 and 8 kicked off proceedings with a wheelchair dance to the 'Happy' music from Despicable Me, assisted by their very own Minion Staff. A range of games and relay races were enjoyed by all the pupils, and everyone left with a medal to celebrate their achievements. As usual the pupils made us very proud, and all the cheering Mums, Dads, family and friends helped to make our 2017 Sports Day one to remember. Thank you to all who organised the day (especially Mrs Goss), and to Banbridge Leisure Centre Staff for their assistance.

The Inter-Schools Formal is one of the most anticipated events in the Senior School Calendar. Our pupils really look forward to getting all 'glammed up' and putting on their finery. I'm sure you will agree that they all looked sensational! Even though our mode of transport did not befit our glamorous appearance, we were all very glad to sit down and rest our weary feet at the end of a night of socialising and dancing. Thank you to all the fabulous Staff who attended to make sure that our pupils had a safe and wonderful evening. Thank you also to Rathore School, Newry for organising such an enjoyable evening.
