Today it was the turn of Mr. McKenna's Year 5 class to lead April's Golden assembly.  The children's assembly focused on the importance of having a growth mindset, being determined, never giving up and finding solutions which require us to think in alternative ways.  During their assembly the children were introduced to some famous faces such as the author J.K. Rowling, basketball star Michael Jordan and the famous scientist Albert Einstein who despite many setbacks continued until they had achieved success.  Some of the musicians, dancers and sports people in Year 5 also relayed how they at first found certain things difficult but with  perseverance achieved success.

Success was also evident when celebrating the vast range of achievement by a number of the boys and girls in a variety of extra-curricular activities.  We also congratulated our Gaelic footballers for their participation in the recent Creggan Gaelic Tournament, our Year 5 poetry winners in Mrs. Campbell's class and Coragh and Corey - two of our Digital Leaders - who designed the winning Safer Internet posters using Adobe Express.  It is very evident that we have many talented girls and boys who do indeed have a positive growth mindset. 

Our teachers too were awarded with certificates with both Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Lawlor receiving certificates for courses completed in Stranmillis University College, Belfast.

Indeed there was lots to celebrate, give thanks for and much to look forward to as we move into the final months of this school year.  They're going to be good ones with lots more to celebrate!
