On Wednesday 15th November 2017, 11 children from Whitehouse went for a two night stay to Ballycastle. Each child had a parent with them and Mrs Robinson and Mrs Johnston went too. We travelled by coach and picked up children and parents from St. James on the way. The children's activities were led by teachers and Corrymeela staff while the parents worked together with David, Mary and Emily from "C.R.I.S.”
We had a wonderful time getting to know each other and we were very sad to leave.
