Pictured are the students who helped lead a workshop at the 23^rd Euroclio Conference, a Conference where 150 History Educators from all over Europe came to Belfast to investigate and discuss topics relating to effective and innovative History teaching.

Senior students, Melissa Murphy, Thomas Steele, Geoffrey McCracken and Jennifer Irwin, showcased the work of the NASUWT’s Civic Voices Oral History project, where students interview interviewees who have a significant story to tell about Civic Activism in the Northern Ireland context. The students helped the teachers prepare and carry out the interview.

Interviewed for this workshop were Mr Tom Hartley, Mr Kenneth Donaldson and Mr Terri Hooley.  

Year 9 pupils recently enjoyed a visit from Bernie Mullan, a local journalist from the Verbal Arts Centre which was part of the Mid-Ulster Council's Project on Seamus Heaney.

Pictured are Year 8 winners of the recent Book Fair Competition, who are proudly showing off their winning bookmarks.  This year the Scholastic Book Fair sales amounted to £651.50 which meant we made an amazing £325 of commission to spend on new books for the Library.  Pop in soon to check our latest additions.

Well done everyone who entered.

Year 8 pupils have been busy in our Religious Studies Department after studying what life was like in Palestine.  They went on to make their own model of a typical Palestinian home - Well done to one and all!

Thanks to all the Year 8 pupils who took part in our Readathon in support of the Cancer Fund for Children.  Pupils also enjoyed a trip to the Town Library, a Big Book Quiz, and a Storytelling session. Year 8 and 9 pupils also enjoyed treats from the Mad Hatter and Alice to celebrate World Book Day.  The tea party was held in the school Library at lunchtime. A BIG thank you is also conveyed to our Year 10 pupils who helped out.
