ADVICE ON THE POST-PRIMARY TRANSFER PROCESS FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN IN P6

As has been the practice over the last number of years the Department of Education has produced a document providing advice to parents of children in P6 on the post-primary transfer process.  The purpose of this document is to ensure that parents receive timely information about the range of issues they need to take into account when making important decisions about the next stage in their child’s education.

The document is available to download from the Department’s website or please see attached.

Thank you.

At the moment both buses should run as normal this afternoon.

Thank you.

Reminder; we have kindly asked that P1-3 pupils are collected at the earlier time of 1.30pm on Wed 7th Jan to accommodate our Open Afternoon.  Our Afterschool Club is available as normal to 3pm (£3), please prebook.

Thank you.

Due to road conditions the Clabby Bus will not run this morning but hopefully this afternoon will be ok.

Thank you.

Dear Parent/Guardian,

We are delighted to let you know that your child has the opportunity to take part in an exciting new programme through Healthy Kidz called the United Youth Initiative. This project brings together young people from different community backgrounds through a range of engaging activities, including:

• Sports sessions designed to encourage teamwork, confidence, and fitness.
• Good relations activities helping pupils to build friendships and mutual understanding.
• Environmental aspects that promote care for our local surroundings.

The programme will run as part of an afterschool Shared Education slot, bringing together P6/7 Participants for schools in the area. Sessions will take place every Friday afternoon from 3pm–5pm, beginning on Friday 16th January and continuing for 12 weeks at Fivemiletown College, with a trip included at the end of 12 weeks! There will be NO sessions on Friday 13^th February, Friday 3^rd & 10^th April due to School Holidays. 

Facilitators will collect children from school and walk to the venue. At the end of each session, we kindly ask parents/guardians to collect their child from Fivemiletown College at 5pm.

We are pleased to confirm that the programme is completely free of charge and is open exclusively to P6/7 pupils. 

We believe this is a fantastic opportunity for your young person/s to make new friends, develop skills, and enjoy fun, meaningful activities in a safe and supportive environment.
