Bangor Central Integrated Primary School is to officially open its new Millennium Computer Suite on Monday 17 June at 2.00pm.

The opening ceremony will be performed by Mrs Linda Black, a former pupil, teacher, member of the Board of Governors, Vice Principal and mother of a P2 pupil in the school.

£28,000 of the funding for the computer suite, was raised by the Parent Teacher Association between 1997 and 2001, with the remainder being provided by the SEELB. A number of local businesses also contributed to this fund raising effort – MFI, Scotty’s Scooters and the First Trust Bank in Bangor.

Members of the press are welcome to attend the ceremony which will begin at 2.00pm.

SEELB Chairman, Rev Dr Donald Watts says,” This computer suite is a tremendous addition to the education facilities offered by the school and will be much appreciated by all who use it. The commitment of staff and parents in getting this project completed has been outstanding.”
