Congratulations to the King’s Park Boys’ and Girls’ Cross Country Teams who both ran out as clear winners at the Flavahans Porridge Primary Cross Country event at Palace Stables Armagh on 2nd December. Both the teams battled extremely well in very muddy conditions. A special mention has to go to  Dylan Alexander (P6) who won the Boys’ Race by a fair margin against a field of 174 Boys. Top placed girls were Emily Anderson and Megan Hampton (both P6) running in at 7th and 8th place out of 151 girls.

Both teams are now in a strong position to qualify for the Northern Ireland finals at Mallusk with one round to go.

The children of King’s Park P.S, as part of their charities this year, raised £400 for the Royal British Legion and £400 for the RNLI. The money was raised through a Sponsored walk entitled “Mad Hair Day” in the park.  

Pictured receiving a cheque on behalf of the RNLI is Mr Brian Cassells and school principal Mr Shields. P7 pupils presented the cheque during a school assembly. 

On Friday we were very lucky to have  a visit from the Tharps for the 36th year. Despite feeling unwell and cancelling all their other appearances they made a special exception for the King's Park pupils.

Thank you Tharps!
