Education Minister, Peter Weir, today visited Millisle Primary School to officially open the new playground area.
Speaking at the event the Minister said:
“I would like to thank the Principal for her kind invitation and warm welcome today to celebrate the opening of the new playground. As Education Minister a key part of my role involves visiting schools right across Northern Ireland and it’s one I greatly enjoy.
