Mid Ulster District Council

Chair of the Council, Councillor Dee Varsani was delighted to attend this special event on 3 June at Magherafelt Integrated Nursery School.

The school's vision of "Exploring, Learning and Celebrating Together" was evident throughout the day as children, families and members of the wider community came together to share in the nursery experience.

A highlight of the celebration was the planting of a tree to mark the school's first year of Integrated Education – a lasting symbol of growth, inclusion and the strong foundations being built for future generations.

Thank you to everyone involved for such a memorable occasion.
