We were saddened today to hear of the death of Mrs Eileen Keenan, known to many of our Past Pupils as “Mrs Kennan, the dancing teacher”. For very many years Mrs Keenan traveled weekly from Newry to Mullaghbawn on the lunch-time bus, tape recorder in hand, ready to teach the “1,2, 3’s” in our Assembly Hall.
We have many fond memories of her time with us and we would like on behalf of the Board of Governors, Staff and Pupils, Past and Present, to extend our heartfelt sympathy to her family, friends and the wider Dancing Community.
It is with great sadness we share the news of the passing of Andrew Nesbitt, Grandfather of Mrs Lisa Mc Keown, highly esteemed member of St Mary’s, Board of Governors.
The Board of Governors, Staff and Pupils of St. Mary’s Primary School wish to extend their heartfelt sympathy to Lisa and the wider Nesbitt family at this sad time.

Having spoken with PHA about the notification of a Positive Covid Result in Miss Hughes’s Class Bubble all pupils and staff in this Class P4/5 must now self-isolate. A copy of the letter of notification is attached below and will follow by post in due course.
We have received notification this morning of a positive Covid test result in Miss HughesP4/5 Class, we will report this to PHA this morning. All P4/5 Pupils to remain at home today until we speak with PHA. We will follow up with further information as soon as it is available.
We have confirmation of a second positive Covid case in our Nursery Class. This child attended school on Thursday, 17th. This means that any Nursery Children/Staff in attendance on Thursday, 17th are close contacts of that child and their isolation period is now extended by a day, up to and including 27th of June.
A similar situation occurs for any of Mrs Nolan’s P2 pupils who attended on Thursday, 17th and were therefore close contacts of the 2nd confirmed case in P2, they likewise must extend their isolation by one day up to and including 27th of June.
A copy of the letter from PHA is attached below and will be posted out in due course.
At this point there are two class bubbles that have been compromised, a school bus, and afterschool to the 2pm point. We do not know how significant the infection rate is until we receive feedback from those who have been advised to get a test for their children. Whereas we haven’t reached the required number to declare the school closed you may wish to consider your personal circumstances and the potential of isolation notice being posted to you.
At this point we are cancelling all After-school Activities including Martina’s after school provision for the remainder of the term.
The last day of term for P7 pupils will now be Tuesday, 22nd June. We know many have appointments in their new schools on Wednesday, 23rd and we wish them all the very best for this next step in their educational journey.
