40th Anniversary

In September 1985 the school opened its gates for its first pupils becoming Northern Ireland’s first Integrated Primary School.

We have a number of events planned throughout the year for both parents/carers and pupils.

This week every pupil in the school will be asked to make the number 40. Head over to our Parentmail Page for some ideas Click here.

Welcome message from Mr McDaid

Welcome to our school website! As you navigate your way through this site I hope that your overwhelming impression is that we are a nurturing school. I hope you see a school that offers your child opportunities to learn and to achieve – a school that develops and enriches your child through their daily experiences.

Most especially we are an Integrated school and in this environment, we talk about who we are and what we believe – we respect our own and others' cultures and backgrounds and take on the challenges that living in Northern Ireland continues to present.

Everyone had a great time at our sports day, Thankfully the rain held off.😀

Thank you to all of you who came along to support our wonderful school. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

"Hazelwood continues to be an outstanding example of integration in practice"

"Hazelwood continues to be an outstanding example of integration in practice"

A few weeks ago our school was assessed for the Excellence in Integration Award. Not only were we successful but we became the first integrated school in Northern Ireland to achieve this award 3 times. This is a fantastic achievement for the entire Hazelwood community. I have included a summary from the report below.

“Hazelwood Integrated Primary and Nursery School continues to be an outstanding example of Integration in practice. It is an excellent example of a mature Integrated school that is willing and able to respond to a changing environment whilst holding fast to its founding principles. Over a long period of time the school has used the EIEA process as one means of ensuring an evolving safe and stimulating environment for its pupils, staff and parents.  The sense of community in the school is very impressive. It continues to have a high level of innovation in its practice. Its ability to manage its resources for the benefit of its pupils is testament to its wider management and governance.

The Governors, Principal, staff, pupils and parents deserve great credit for contributing so faithfully to this excellent Integrated primary and nursery school. 

The school clearly continues to make a large contribution for good and harmonious relations in the area.”

Thank you

Mr McDaid

Face to Facebook Free workshop 21st Jan @6pm

Dear Parent/Carers,

We are writing to invite you to a free parent workshop being provided to us by Love For Life called 'Face to Facebook' on Wednesday 21st January, 6.00-7.30pm in the school hall.  

This interactive workshop will provide an up-to-date overview of what’s happening online for many children.  The workshop will also explore topics such as cyberbullying, social media, sexting and practical tips about boundaries that could be helpful in the home. Face to Facebook builds the confidence of parents and carers, equipping them to deal with the opportunities and challenges online, and inspires them to use their unique influence as we all navigate our ever evolving digital world.  This is a one off workshop offered to our school and hopefully you will agree that ensuring our young people's safety online is so important.

To ensure everyone can join us, we will be offering crèche facilities for families who need them.

Hopefully we will see you there.

Many thanks,

Miss Agnew
