Presentation of Highland Dance Certificates The achievements of pupils from Derryboy Primary School and Moneyrea Primary School were celebrated at a special presentation event in the Stormont Great Hall, kindly sponsored by Michelle McIlveen MLA. The occasion recognised the children's recent success in their Highland Dance examinations, marking an important milestone in their cultural and artistic development. Certificates and badges were formally presented by Michelle McIlveen MLA and William Olphert, Director of Education in the Ulster-Scots Agency, whose support for the promotion of Ulster-Scots heritage continues to be deeply valued. We extend sincere thanks to the Michelle Johnston School of Highland Dance, whose expert tuition and encouragement prepared the pupils so well for their exams. Special Presentations: The event also provided an opportunity to honour individuals who have made significant contributions to Highland Dance and Ulster-Scots culture: Michelle Shilliday received a celebration cake marking 20 years of dedicated involvement in promoting Scottish Highland Dancing. Dr Judith Harper recognised ahead of her retirement as Principal of Derryboy PS, in appreciation of her commitment to Ulster-Scots culture and heritage within the school community. Mr Roy Greer accepted the prestigious designation of Ulster-Scots Flagship School on behalf of Moneyrea PS, acknowledging the school's leadership in cultural education. Reflections on Cultural Identity: During the proceedings, William Olphert delivered a short but thoughtful address on the importance of children developing a strong sense of cultural identity and gaining an understanding of the Ulster-Scots tongue. His remarks highlighted the value of heritage as a living, shared experience that enriches both school life and the wider community. Performances: The pupils then delighted the audience with three Highland dances, including a traditional sword dance, demonstrating both their skill and their enthusiasm for the art form. Closing Appreciation: Gratitude is once again extended to Michelle McIlveen MLA for sponsoring the event and enabling such a memorable celebration of achievement, culture, and community.

Moneyrea Girls are Netball Tournament Champions After very competitive group stages in the Moneyrea Netball Tournament, Knocknagoney met Moneyrea in the first semi-final and Dundonald went up against St Joseph's. All four teams deserved to make the final, however St Joseph's and Moneyrea made it through. It was very fitting in Mrs Floyd's final year that Moneyrea ran out winners of the Moneyrea Netball Tournament. Congratulations to all the teams who played in such a sporting manner. A big thank you to Mrs Floyd, Miss Welsh and Lucy Simpson for making it such a great day.
