hi i was shocked to hear the the knockmore primary school was to close after 41 years of good…read moreservice and the care and attention that the teachers give the mainstream pupils and special needs the board needs to think again about closing the school as i was a former pupil at the school in 1972 and my daughter also went to the school as well now my granddaughter goes to the school they have done a lot to the school over the years and it would be ashame to see it go i have to pick my granddaugher up after school which i live across the road from the school if my granddaugher had to move to another school it would be hard for me to lift her but they do not think about the options they are just thinking about the cut backs which is not right as they need their education .why move them when they are all settled in the school .i was down the town today and talking to a former teacher and told her what was happening and she was shocked to here that as she taught in the school for years why does it have to be knockmore why not the younder schools as in 1969there wer only 3 schools in lisburn that knockmore ,tonagh, and central as i was also a former pupil of tonagh in 1971 and moved to knockmore in 1972 as we moved house to knockmore estate knockmore caters for every needs to help them with their edcation and they have proved that time and time again over the years it would be a shame now after all these years when they took the special needs children in and started to learn them and also opened another unit for them what are yous thinking about whatever it is it is not going to happen as the parents and teachers and the comminuty will not let this happen. whey did you open all the rest of the schools over the years if this was going to happen they should of keep what schools was opened which was the 3 main schools in lisburn i hope this will be taken in to account as we would like the school to stay open they have got my support 100 per cent .the teachers have time to learn the pupils if they went to another school they would not the attention that they get now to learn as their would be to many in the class to learn them and they would be behind in their edcation .you talking about that their edcation is importment then keep the school open to give them the edcation that they are getting and not playing with the childrens minds from mrs jackson a fromer pupil of KNOCKMORE PRIMARY SCHOOL

My work put me through forklift training six years ago and a refresher course last year for a…read morecounterbalance forklift. The training consisted of watching a health and safety dvd and a short multiple choice test and the practical test on the third day and practical experience was on a three days. The practical test involved lifting and stacking pallets and going through a course made of pallets standing on their sides to form a right and left turn, the object was to drive through with pallets on the forks set them down and reverse back through then drive through and bring them back on the forks. Two people I work with failed and the examiner tried his hardest to help them but they both hadn't driven anything before not even a car and I think nerves got the better of them, in fairness to the examiner he made the right decision as you need to be safe above anything else. The forklift license covers you anywhere you work though my work being sneaky claimed it doesn't, as they paid for it they won't give me it. My advice is pay for any training you get for any job and keep hold of whatever license or qualifications you gain. The training was carried out at my work and we were unloading lorries during training which is a good thing as you'd be unloading lorries when you'd have your license, at least your getting advice as your learning.

They have a 2 year old programme that takes kiddies before nursery, helping them develop the social communication skills they need for transitioning into nursery. They also offer a crèche facility for people who would like to attend the many courses/classes that are on offer (ranging from cookery, photography, Irish, first aid etc) Although it's an Irish immersion based nursery unit, the courses are for those who don't necessarily have Irish, as well as the crèche
