Windmill Wins the Carson Award

21st Oct 2021

Windmill Integrated Primary School and Nursery Unit win a Creativity Group Award at the 14th Annual Carson Awards held in Lagan College for our piece on ‘Togetherness’.

The whole school worked alongside Mrs Stephanie Hazelton, local artist and past parent on the ‘Togetherness’ project.

They took their inspiration from how wildlife and nature work so well together to create the wonderful natural environment around us.

Originally as an early Integrated School (founded in 1988), Parents and the community worked together to create Windmill Integrated Primary School. Through the hard work and dedication of subsequent Parents and Staff working together, we have created the wonderful, thriving school it is to-day. Nature is diverse and we choose butterflies, birds, a dragonfly, insects, flowers and a tree to represent nature which also typifies and reflects the variety and diversity in our school.

Integration by definition means working together to understand each other, our cultures, experiences and religion. These are all reflected in the diversity in our school community. The very make up of our school includes children from Poland, Lithuania, Brazil, East Timor and Portugal. We all work hard to understand each other and work together. A popular song we like to sing as a whole school says, ‘what we do together, we do as one.’

The ‘mighty oak’ and the ‘Irish Hare’ are the largest in our piece because they both symbolise strength and we feel here at Windmill Integrated Primary school and Nursery Unit we all learn and work ‘stronger together’. We feel our ‘Togetherness’ piece has a fascinating story to tell, just like the history and evolution of Windmill and how we all work ‘better together’.
