• Wellbeing Day 2 January 2026

  Thu 08 Jan 2026

  We had our second Wellbeing Day on Wednesday as we welcomed back pupils for Term 2. During the day children had the opportunity to relax, connect and have fun through a range of engaging activities. During our Forest School session, the children built a den for their teddy bears, encouraging creativity and problem-solving while enjoying time outdoors.

  Alongside this, the children also explored our VR set, offering an exciting and immersive experience of the seas around Rathlin.

  The day focused on supporting emotional wellbeing and building confidence with memorable experiences for everyone involved.

  Our pupils enjoyed a trip to Ballymoney with Ballycastle Integrated PS to see this year’s pantomime, Peter Pan. The children were excited to see their favourite characters come to life on stage, and their participation added to the atmosphere. It was a wonderful opportunity to experience live theatre.

• Into Film

  Wed 19 Nov 2025

  On Monday we had such an exciting day with Into Film in Rathlin’s RSPB Centre. We learned how to make our own storyboards and base our stories in specific genres and in different types of settings. And the best part… we got to watch ‘The Wild Robot!’ . Lots of tears shed… from pupils AND staff!

  We had an absolutely fantastic day - thanks so much to the crew from INTO Film for facilitating such a great experience for our pupils
