Splash And Dash 2022 |

The weather was glorious for the pupils and staff of Downpatrick Primary School recently as they took part in the PTA ‘Splash and Dash’ sponsored walk round the Mound of Down to raise money for PTA funds. It had been raining overnight but the clouds had been blown away and there was bright October sunshine all morning.
Vicky Haslett of the school’s PTA committee said, “The walk has got our fund-raising efforts for the children off to a great start this year. All the pupils took part and we were delighted with everyone’s enthusiasm especially the P7 children who each took a P1 pupil under their wing and held their hands through the muddy bits!”
She added, “The PTA is now looking forward to our special Christmas Fair on Thursday 1 December.”
Principal, Mr Niall Stevenson thanked the PTA for their efforts, “We use the Mound of Down and Down High pitches for our sponsored walk and the children really enjoyed being out splashing about, learning some local history and raising money as well!”
The children are bringing in their Sponsor Forms and we are planning to do the Golden Ticket Draw at our next assembly to find the Prize Winning Pupils!
