Primary 7 Go Full Throttle!

9th May 2025

What an unforgettable day! Our Primary 7 pupils had the incredible opportunity to enjoy a VIP experience at the North West 200 paddocks — and it’s safe to say they had a wheelie good time!

 

From the moment we arrived, excitement was in the air. The children were thrilled to meet some of the riders, ask questions and even snap a few photos with their racing heroes. There were plenty of smiles (and a few dropped jaws!) as we got up close to the powerful race bikes.

 


The highlight for many was stepping into the heart of the action — the pits — where we watched the mechanics hard at work, tuning and preparing the bikes for the big event. The pupils were fascinated by the teamwork, precision, and noise!

 

A huge thank you to the North West 200 team for making us feel so welcome and giving our children a day they’ll never forget!
