Have a look at what's happening in our school.

• Trip to Bushmills Garden Centre

  Fri 28 Mar 2025

  Thanks to the Causeway Coast and Glens Labour Market Partnership programme, we were able to enjoy a trip to Bushmills Garden Centre today.

  This enabled us to visualise ways in which we can progress our school garden and outdoor learning environment

  We had a few scenic stops along the way along with a beautiful lunch and play at the Garden Centre.

  

• Ireland Themed Week 2025

  Tue 18 Mar 2025

  We held a successful themed week last week as we learnt about the geography, history and cultural aspects of Ireland culminating in our St. Patrick’s Day celebration on Friday. Themed weeks give us an opportunity to come off timetable and really focus intensively on a knowledge rich topic. See pictures of the week below.

• Pupil voice

  Mon 10 Mar 2025

  Recently at our assemblies we have been thinking about what pupil voice is and how all pupils can have an input into our school. Pupil voice in a small school means actively involving students in decisions that affect their learning and school environment. With a close-knit community, every student's opinion is valued, fostering a sense of ownership, responsibility, and engagement. It allows for meaningful dialogue between students and staff, ensuring that pupils feel heard and empowered to contribute to positive changes in their school experience.

   

  During our most recent assembly we asked the pupils two questions:

  - What is going/went well (WWW)

  - Even Better If (EBI)

   

  The pupils’ responses are shown in the leaflet attached and it makes for very encouraging reading. Our pupils are happy and yet able to think how we can improve. They are articulate and beginning to really foster a sense of leadership in our school community.

  

• World Book Day 2025

  Thu 06 Mar 2025

  This year for world book day 2025 pupils created their favourite book characters from recycled materials they had at home. We had a range of characters from Irish mythical stories, local legends and some world-famous ones. Have a look at the pictures and see if you can spot the characters.  

   

  Pupils also listened to the story of 'The Lorax'- read by Mrs. Wisner Clarke and made their own Lorax character. 

  

• Cyber Security Workshop

  Tue 04 Mar 2025

  Today all the pupils learned about the exciting jobs available in cyber security by taking part in the Cyber Super programme. Cyber security careers are interesting and varied. Every organisation, large and small, now needs people who understand how to keep information and systems safe. There are different ways young people can access a career in cyber security. Carrying on with either Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths post-16 will give them lots of options to specialise later.
