Integrated Netball Success

Our year 8 netball squad won through to the final of the Integrated Colleges Netball Tournament, after a very early start to get to Magherafelt. The girls lost narrowly to Hazelwood Integrated College. The girls put up a terrific performance, a just reward for all their practice.

Success against Kilkeel

Congratulations to our year 9 soccer team who defeated Kilkeel High School 3:2. Well done, great match. Welcome back to school to all those who caught a very bad 'flu' like bug on the ski trip. Banbridge Academy students, who were with our students on the trip suffered too. We hope the few students who are still not back all get well soon.

Ski Trip Returns

A fantastic trip was had by all. Two twisted knees and a few sniffles were the sum total of injuries. Not the full range of slopes, but plenty of snow to keep everyone skiing all day everyday. Good reports of the quiz, bingo and disco too. Good company in the shape of an Italian school from near Rome and Banbridge Academy. Just not long enough was the verdict from most as they piled off the bus....

Ulster Champion

We have another Ulster Champion. On St Valentine's Day, she became Ulster Champion at the Ulster Cross Country Championships at Mallusk. This is a fantastic achievement, and she now goes forward to compete in the All Ireland Championships. We wish her the very best of luck.

Ski Trip Sets Off

Our ski trip set off for San Valentino in Italy. Lets hope the dry slope lessons paid off! Let's hope that there's no more news until their safe return, which usually means that they are having a brilliant time.

Netball Successes

The hard work at after-school netball practice was rewarded when both our teams defeated Down High School this week. It's great to see our netball squad performing well following last year's promotion to the higher division.

Great pitch

Great work has been done in the last week on our main pitch. The winter has been exceptionally wet and the surface has suffered, but the work to the playing surface will mean that the pitch will withstand the rest of the season. Great work too from Newcastle Football Club in installing a proper, exchangeable posts system so that all codes of football are well catered for.
