Mr Derek Baker (permanent secretary) and Ms Carla Condell Lockhart had a tour of the school recently. Pupils from Leavers’ Class and Class 12 were delighted to show off their Young Enterprise stall.
Senior school pupils have been practicing together and learning about how much hard work it takes to put on a show. Wednesday’s performance of Scrooge certainly taught us that hard work pays off! We hope you enjoyed watching the show as much as we loved performing in it – Merry Christmas Everyone!

A deep layer of snow set the scene for the day on Friday 8th December. Those who made it to school showed off their Christmas Jumpers while enjoying Christmas Dinner. The Mayor, Councellor Gareth Wilson, popped in to wish us all a Merry Christmas.
Thank you to all who donated to ‘Save the Children’ jumper day. More than one hundred pounds was raised for this worthy cause.
Fire Safety officers from Banbridge fire station made a visit to school. The pupils learned the importance of having an escape plan in place should an emergency happen.
