Parkhall Integrated College opens doors to the community for special Inter-generational party!

PARKHALL Integrated College was ‘delighted’ to open its doors this week for its fifth Annual Community Christmas Party - a now firmly established tradition that brings together generations from across Antrim to celebrate the joy of the season.

The college was filled with festive cheer as guests from across the community joined in the celebration. Among the special attendees were residents from Clonlee and Antrim Care Homes, 78 pupils and staff from Steeple Nursery School, members of the Parkhall College choir and orchestra, representatives from the Board of Governors, the Mayor of Antrim, a wide range of political representatives, and local clergy.

The afternoon was alive with music, laughter, and Christmas spirit.

Guests enjoyed a heartwarming programme of carols performed by the Parkhall Choir, followed by adorable seasonal renditions from the 78 wee ones from Steeple Nursery School, who undoubtedly captured everyone’s hearts!

A delicious selection of food and refreshments kept the festive energy high - and the excitement reached new heights with a surprise appearance from a very special visitor all the way from the North Pole, delighting young and old alike.

Parkhall Integrated College extended its sincere gratitude to their generous supporters, Yew Tree Butchery and Deli and Ace Cabs, whose contributions helped ensure the afternoon ran smoothly and created a welcoming, warm environment for everyone involved.

“It was truly special to witness so many generations of the Antrim community gathered under one roof - sharing stories, laughter, and the spirit of Christmas together,” said a school spokesperson.

“Events like this remind us of the power of connection and the joy that comes from celebrating as one community.

“We hope you enjoy the photographs as a lasting memento of this wonderful day.

“Happy Christmas from everyone at Parkhall Integrated College!”
