Down and Connor Resources

Dear parents, boys and girls,

Please have a look at these resources by clicking on their links. There is information on Holy Week, Easter and many other resources such as prayers, stories, art activities and also information about the coronavirus. Thanks to the diocese for providing these.

To support our schools during this difficult time, I have uploaded some resources to the Down and Connor Diocesan website.  These resources will be useful to teachers, pupils and parents. 

If you have any difficulty accessing these resources, you can access all of them via the diocesan website at:  www.downandconnor.org (you will find the various links at the top of the homepage).
