• Farewell P7s!

  Mon 21 Jun 2021

  We will bid a fond farewell to our three P7 classes next Monday, 28th June, with school ending for these pupils at 1.15pm. 

   

  Mr Armstrong and Mrs Smart will visit each class during Monday morning to say goodbye and present them with a momento of their time at Brooklands Primary School. 

   

  This brief visit to each P7 class will be available to view live on our Instagram account brooklandprimaryni. Times for each class are as follows:

   

  P7 Miss Duggan 10am

   

  P7 Miss Steele & Mr Devlin 11am

   

  P7 Mr Henry 12 noon

   

  A permission slip will be sent home to seek parental approval for each child to appear on the live Instagram 'story'. Comments will be switched off during the live story due to child protection. 

   

  Follow our school account NOW to make sure you don't miss out!

   

  Sincere thanks to all P7 parents & carers for supporting your child's journey through primary school. We wish each and every one of our amazing pupils all the very best as they embrace the exciting changes and challenges ahead!

  

• Donate your pre-loved uniforms in conjunction with ROC Ballybeen and our local churches

  Thu 17 Jun 2021

  Dear Parents/Guardians,

   

  Children often outgrow uniforms which are still in good condition. As you know, uniforms are expensive and so it makes sense that these would be passed on to others who can use them. This also helps the environment by cutting down on waste.

   

  Local churches are working together with ROC Ballybeen to collect and distribute pre-loved, outgrown school uniforms which are still in good condition. The project will cover all the schools located in Dundonald: Brooklands & Dundonald Primary Schools, along with their nurseries, Longstone, Tor Bank and Dundonald High School.

   

  Please click here to download the letter about this project and find out how to donate your pre-loved uniforms.  Donations will be gratefully accepted at the back door of our assembly hall on Tuesday 29th June between 9.00am and 11.00am.  If this time doesn't suit, additional donation times are available at Christ Church Presbyterian in early July - all the details are in the letter.

   

  If you wish to receive some items of uniform, these will be available for collection from Christ Church on Thursday 8th July from 3pm to 7pm and Friday 9th July from 10am to Ipm - please see the letter for additional details.

   

  For further information and updates, please search for the 'ROC Ballybeen' page on Facebook.

   

  This is an excellent initiative and we thank you in advance for your support.

   

  Kind regards,

  J. Armstrong
