Commiserations to the U14AXI who lost 1-0 to Friends in the Junior Plate Final today. It was a close match with our girls dominating possession, particularly in the last quarter, but unable to find an equaliser. Well done girls. We are very proud of you!

Yesterday our Year 8 pupils took park in workshops run by Noel Lyons, of Arc21. They learned about waste management in Northern Ireland and the importance of recycling. They got to complete an interactive quiz and prizes were given to the lucky winners!
