On 16th January 2010, 18 pupils and three members of staff left from Belfast International Airport for the annual Ski Trip to Pamporovo in Bulgaria.
We were greeted by plenty of snow and the skiing was great. Evening activities included discos, Ringos, ten pin bowling, a pool competition and a presentation evening.
Everyone enjoyed the week and hope to return next year.

Parents Information Session: Vertical Tutoring |
|
For some time now the Governors and staff have been seeking considering better ways in which the pastoral system of the school which is currently arranged into year based tutor groups could be developed in order to maximise our strengths and improve the experiences of all pupils.
Vertical tutoring is a new system that we are adopting from September and it means that instead of pupils belonging to a form group made up of only their own age group, each group will be mixed across year groups. The school will be divided into 5 Pastoral Learning Groups, each with 9 tutor groups which would contain a smaller number of pupils than existing groups.
This new structure relates entirely to tutor groups and the pastoral system; not to lessons in subject areas where pupils will continue to be taught with others of their own age and ability.
You are invited to a Parent's Forum that will be held in school at 7.00 pm on Monday 8 March where Mr Hayes will give more detail about the changes and be available to answer your questions. |
The Y10 Careers Convention at Ballysillan Leisure Centre was a great success! Pupils explored a range of career paths from Engineering, Policing, Hair and Beauty, Social Work, to name a few. They also had the opportunity to explore post 16 options via Further and Higher Education establishments such as Newtownabbey Regional College, University of Ulster and discussed available Apprenticeship programmes with relevant personnel. As a result pupils left feeling invigorated and armed with Career information! Check out the photographs to learn more.
