Mistaken Identity!!

Year 13 pupils getting creative

Springhill Primary School were having a wonderful day at their Hallowe‘en disco when suddenly they spotted some 'trolls‘ approaching over the hill. After closer inspection the Year 2 Teacher was able to point out to the children that those creatures wearing boiler suits in the playground were in fact Year 13 girls from the Belfast Model School for Girls and not gruesome monsters after all. How on earth could they have made such a mistake?!!

The troop of Year 13 artists, ably led by Mrs Chivero were sitting out in the cold, windy, wintry weather painting the school‘s playground to brighten things up for the children. They had a great time and for some of the girls it was like coming home, returning to their old primary school to spruce things up a bit. Springhill was delighted to have the girls making such a colourful contribution to the playground and they would be delighted to have them back to paint some more.

Mr Andrews the school principal commented, ”The playground looks lovely and it was great to see some of our old girls back doing some work - painting that is!“

Well done girls - keep up the good work! (I‘m sure when the other primary schools in the area hear of your talents they will all be giving you a call.)
