Hockey success in Germany!
We are incredibly proud to celebrate one of our P6 pupils, Lorelai, following her outstanding achievement at the Eulen Trophy hockey competition in Germany last weekend.
Representing Instonians U12, Lorelai and her team delivered an exceptional performance—winning the tournament after playing five matches across two days, securing four victories and one draw. This is an especially remarkable accomplishment as Lorelai was the youngest player on the team, competing against older pupils from P7 and Year 8.
P7 welcome a parent speaker from Preston Consultancy
Prep 7 were inspired by a visit from Old Victorian alumna Claire Preston of Preston Consultancy, who is also mum to Eva in Prep 7. Claire shared her journey as a woman in business and spoke about her work developing university student accommodation, providing an inspiring insight into future career possibilities!
P5 LEGO TECHNIC Workshop - ASPIRE
Our Prep 5 pupils once again had the fantastic opportunity to work with their friends from St Brides and Inchmarlo as part of the ASPIRE programme.
The STEAM organisation, Bricks 4 Kidz delivered an exciting workshop using Lego Technic. It was wonderful to witness great co-operation, peer support and problem solving during the sessions as the pupils created motorised lego models.
In addition, all pupils enjoyed an energetic session of physical training and team challenges with the Move your Mind programme.
Spring in Pre-School
Pre‑school girls enjoyed a wonderful afternoon in the sunshine, exploring the outdoors and playing together beautifully, making the most of the bright spring weather.
P7 Investigate bullying awareness
Today in class we explored different types of bullying and how we can all make kinder choices. The lesson looked at verbal, physical, social, and cyberbullying, using examples from the slide to help us think about how certain behaviours — even unintentional ones — can hurt others.
The discussion led to lots of thoughtful conversation, especially around phone use, group chats, and online behaviour. The pupils were very engaged and contributed honestly, thinking about how they can support one another and treat each other kindly both in school and online.
P5 Join the Aspire programme
Prep 5 had a wonderful first session in our shared education, Aspire programme. We joined with the P5 pupils from St Bride’s PS and Inchmarlo. One group had great fun completing physical challenges in the Move Your Mind programme while the second group developed their ICT skills through Minecraft activities.
World Book Day, P7 style
Prep 7 were super relaxed and enjoying some cosy reading for World Book Day—blankets, books… bliss!
World Book Day in P5
On World Book Day, Prep 5 pupils, dressed in their comfy clothes were delighted to relax and read in our new library area in Prep. Pupils were invited to donate books to the library and the response was wonderful. We look forward to using this special reading space again in the near future.
P4 learn about The Blitz
This week, P4 have been learning about The Blitz. They have used the internet to research facts about The Belfast Blitz and created their own Blitz scene! Well done, girls!
Gaelic games at Musgrave Park
Congratulations to our prep Gaelic team who played with determination and commitment today at Musgrave Park. We had a convincing win against Stranmillis primary and were narrowly defeated by St Patrick’s primary. These results see the girls progress to a semi-final later next month. Well done everyone 👏
