Pupils and friends of Ballyoran Primary School celebrated the school’s 50th anniversary with a fun day.

Poor weather forced events indoors but the pupils didn’t seem to mind too much and still had plenty of fun in the school and a special activity bus.

Photographer Tony Hendron was there to capture some of the atmosphere of the day.
