Lucy McDowell and her horse Woody have been competing this year in several jumping competitions. They came 2nd in 75cm Dengie Qualifier and qualified for final. In the Ardnacashel jump mix they came 1st in the 80cms. Lucy’s goal is to go to eventing Ireland this incoming season and to jump in the 90cm competition. Well done Lucy and Woody keep up the good work!

A huge round of applause to King's Park Girls' and Boys' Cross Country teams who were both   crowned Southern Area Champions once again. This is the Boys 4th Southern Area title in a row and the Girls third in a row. The Girls won every race in the league,  but the boys had to come from behind to fight off a stiff challenge to their crown from a very good Bocombra team. 

The girls scored an amazing 30 points yesterday at Banbridge, 63 points ahead of their nearest rival. The boys,  who sat one point behind their nearest rival,  overturned this margin to run a comprehensive victory,  gaining 48 points to their rival's 79 points, a margin of 31 points. 

It was a superb team effort in both cases but special mention has to go to Kate Holmes (P7) and Ellie Cousins (P6},  who came first and second respectively in the Girls' race and also to Joel Todd (P7),  who came second in the Boys' race. 

Also looking to the future, mention must go to Leah Balfour and Alex Kerr (both P5),  who came first and second in the Fun Run. 

The Supporting King’s Park Group plan to hold a meeting on Monday 26th February at 7.00pm in the staffroom. All parents interested in supporting school this year are asked to attend or pass their name on to the office for future meetings.

 The Supporting King’s Park Group has organised a disco on Tuesday 13th February from 7.00pm to 8.30pm for P5, P6 and P7 children. Tickets are now available price £1.00. Parents are reminded that all children must be collected from the Assembly Hall at 8.30pm sharp after the disco.
