The Magherafelt High School Girls' Tag Rugby Team will visit the home of Ulster Rugby at the newly refurbished Ravenhill Stadium now known as 'Kingspan'.  The team will attend the Ulster v Edinburgh match this Friday night, 3 October 2014.  The girls' received complimentary tickets for coming second in their section after just losing out on winning by one point!!!  Not a bad runners up prize!!!  We wish the girls' a very enjoyable evening.

The annual prize distribution at Magherafelt High School was held on Wednesday, 20 September 2014.  This event recognises and celebrates the successes and achievements of our pupils' across all year groups during the last school year and in particular acknowledges the excellent results obtained in GCSE, AS and A2 examinations in 2014.  The guest speaker was Mr Lyle Watters, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President of Ford of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, who is a former pupil of the school.  We would like to extend our thanks to Mr Watters for taking the time to attend our prize distribution and congratulate all our pupils', past and present who were awarded prizes at the event.

A group of 14 pupils' from our A Level Product Design 3D Technology and Design class visited Moyola Precision Engineering, Castledawson on Monday, 22 September 2014.  The visit included an introductory talk on the role of an engineer and the type of work they do at their Company before receiving a guided tour of the workshop floor and meeting engineers and CAD designers who produce work for companues such as INVISTA and Bombardier.  The group thoroughly enjoyed their visit and would like to thank Moyola Precision Engineering for their information and hospitality.

While many of us were sitting around a table eating our cornflakes and contemplating whether or not to go for the second bowl, twenty enthused and clearly fit students, accompanied three members of staff (Mrs Wishart, Mr Campbell, Miss Alexander and Mrs T Wilson), were about to set off on the Belfast Marathon Fun Run- nothing fun about it if you ask me!

Mrs 'Play 9 in defence' McAleece and Mr 'Play 9 up front' Charles chaperoned our young year 8 and 9 girls football starlets to the Coleraine 7s tournament on Monday (16th June). Although both team didn't quite make it to the final, they hopefully got the 'buzz' you feel when playing in any kind of tournament.
