Throughout the month of May, our pupils have thoroughly enjoyed lunchtime activities. Yesterday, we enjoyed a well-deserved ice‑cream treat. Moments like these help to make school life even more memorable.

Congratulations to Sophia (Year 8) on her fantastic performance at the Ulster Schools’ Athletics Championships, where she secured 2nd place in the Mini Girls’ 100m and an impressive 4th place in the Mini Girls’ Long Jump.

Well done also to Daniel (Year 8), who achieved outstanding success by winning 1st place in the Mini Boys’ High Jump and finishing a strong 6th in the Mini Boys’ Long Jump.

A brilliant achievement by both pupils!

What an unforgettable send-off for our amazing Year 14 students last week

From tasty food to fun-filled games and plenty of laughter, the event was packed with great memories. Students went all out in their fantastic fancy dress —creativity was definitely on display!

The day was rounded off in a tree planting ceremony a meaningful way to leave a lasting legacy and mark this important milestone.

We’re so proud of everything our Year 14 leavers have achieved and can’t wait to see what the future holds for them.

One of our Kitcar drivers, Charlie (Year 8 ), competed in the Rotax All Ireland Kart Racing Championship at Nutts Corner picking up first place overall in the junior category. Well Done Charlie!

On Thursday 21st May, some of our musicians had a fantastic morning attending the Bassoon and Beyond Day in Belfast.

There were over 40 bassoonists from across Northern Ireland taking part in the event. Pupils spent the morning rehearsing a variety of pieces before performing in a concert for parents and guests at the end of the session.

It was an amazing experience for our pupils, and we all had a wonderful time!

Congratulations to Tyler (Year 8 ) who has been selected to take part in the Costa Girona Cup as part of the Rangers Soccer Academy in June.

On Tuesday 12th May, we opened our doors to school leaders from across Northern Ireland to showcase the benefits of a phone-free learning environment. At BSS, we introduced phone-free learning using Yondr pouches in August 2025, becoming one of the first schools in County Antrim to do so. Since then, pupils store their phones securely during the school day, reducing distractions and boosting focus, behaviour, and social interaction. The initiative has been widely supported by staff, pupils, and parents, with leaders from across Northern Ireland visiting the school to see the approach in action.
