A right 'royal' day out for our P7 pupils...

23 March 2018 (by ballycastle)

As part of their Shared Education project with pupils at St. Patrick's and St. Brigid's, some of our P7s were very lucky to attend today's 'Amazing the Space' event at the Eikon Centre in Lisburn.

'Amazing the Space' is a youth-led peace-building initiative, funded by the Northern Ireland Executive Office that empowers young people across Northern Ireland, to become ambassadors for peace within their communities. It was an early start for all, but the P7s managed to endure the long journey and got the shock of their lives when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle put in an appearance. They got a further shock when they found out that the host of the event was none other than good old Barra Best! The P7s were entertained by very talented pupils from across Northern Ireland, who were playing instruments and singing songs with their partner Shared Education schools. Unfortunately, none of our pupils were able to win tickets for a concert for 'The Vamps', which Cool FM were giving away. However, their frowns were soon turned upside down when they managed to score a selfie with Barra ;-) Have a look in our Galleries for some photos of the trip.
