MHS HOST YEAR 10 AMAZING BRAINS EVENT

Amazing BRAINS

Recently Year 10 girls at Magherafelt High School participated in an exciting and innovative programme called 'Girl's on the Ball'.  The programme is being jointly funded by the Women's Department of the Irish Football Association, UEFA and Ulster University.  The programme was delivered by 'Amazing Brains', a community interest company established to support study skills and enterprise education for school pupils.  Magherafelt High has worked closely with 'Amazing Brains' on the delivery of a pupil support study programme in recent years and is delighted for it's pupils to be involved in this project.  The programme will continue with another school based event and a visit to Ulster University.
