Grandparents Day at Ballyhackett

BALLYHACKETT Primary School, Castlerock continues to prepare for its 140th anniversary celebrations on Saturday, June 6.

This week grandparents and great grandparents were invited to the Castlerock school to spend some time with their grandchildren and great grandchildren and to reminisce about their own school days.

After enjoying light refreshments they participated in a prayer service led by Fr Charles Keaney and the Primary 7 children.

They also enjoyed a tour of the school and the opportunity to see learning in action.

Some of the grandparents and great grand parents were past pupils of the school and it was particularly interesting for them to note the many changes that have taken place over the years.
