Special Schools celebrate and sing at St Anne’s Cathedral

Smiles and laughter said it all on day two of The St Anne Trust Belfast Primary Schools’ Choir of the Year competition as pupils from two Special Schools took centre stage.

The Come and Sing Day, hosted by the Trust at Belfast Cathedral on 16th May, 2019 is now in its third year. Once again the choirs of Jordanstown School and Harberton Special School came along to sing and make music.
