Celebrate reading at our Annual Book Fair!

TThe English Department will be hosting their annual Book Fair next Monday (25th November) - Friday (29th November)

During break and lunch time, in the school library.

All books are half price. This is an opportunity not to be missed, as books can be purchased for as little as £1.50.
There will also be a range of posters and stationery available to purchase at the fair.

There will be a competition running throughout the week with a chance to win vouchers to spend at the fair.

If you want further information, please see your English teacher.

Miss School. Miss Out


I wanted to let you know that our new advertising campaign has been launched recently entitled ‘Miss School. Miss Out’.

The campaign will seek to highlight the fact that school attendance is not just essential, it’s also beneficial and that in missing school you are also missing out on a range of other positive life experiences. This was something you had highlighted at the workshops earlier this year.

We will also be highlighting two other key points:

  • Each year, 40,000 children in Northern Ireland have an attendance level of 90% or lower.
  • There is a misunderstanding amongst some parents that achieving a 90% attendance record is a good result. On the contrary, this level of attendance equates to 19 days absence / one month out of school.

The campaign will feature on television, radio, outdoor advertising, newspapers and social media.
