Future Friday is back for another year for the Primary 7 children of the area!

This Friday (24th April) will be opening night, and for we are offering a reduced price for one night only! We will use this night to get everyone registered, which means there may be a small wait, but we will work through this as quickly as possible and following weeks registration will be a lot quicker.

Kevin will be in some of the schools this week to answer any questions that the children may have, but we'd like to take this opportunity to give parents or guardians the chance to ask any questions they may have. So please comment below, and we'll respond as soon as possible (and most likely repost the answers in another post later in the week).

Future Friday is a weekly exclusive event for Primary 7 children, to aid them with the transition of moving into OHS after the summer. We aim to give children the opportunity to meet new friends, and try new things! We have run this for the last 7 year and the feedback has been extremely positive.

This will run every week up until the Summer Holidays (excluding May 1st & May 22nd).

We have brand new ideas, clubs, activities planned for this year, and that all begins in just four days!
