The event also marked ten years of a special link with Sandelford School.

The innovative idea of a ‘Kids In Day’ was the outcome of a chat between Sharon Tennant and Mary McKendry from Sandelford Special School and Derek Sinnamon from Coleraine Rotary Club.

The day aims to foster an increased awareness and acceptance of special needs in the community and among kids.

The Harpurs Hill Band musicians, under the direction of Stephanie McLaughlin, performed a mix of calypso tunes and beat music, accompanied by the exuberant Sandleford audience and enjoyed by the teaching staff as well.

It is hoped that this new day will go from strength to strength in the future.
