Our entire Ballyclare Secondary School community is deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden passing of our Year 9 pupil, Kaylee Black.
Kaylee was a very talented, kind, well-mannered pupil with a beautiful smile. Both staff and pupils are profoundly saddened by her death, and she will be remembered with great affection by her fellow pupils and staff alike.
Our hearts go out to Kaylee’s family circle; they are foremost in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.
On Wednesday morning Mrs Shingleton held a very special assembly where our Head Boy, Jack Metcalfe, ‘Braved the Shave’ for Macmillan Cancer Support in front of our senior school. The atmosphere was fantastic and the amount raised (so far) is amazing. Thanks to Jack’s family, friends and our staff as well as one of our past pupils, Jordan Malone, who owns Dean Samuel Gentleman's Barbers - Woodford / Carnmoney for doing the deed!
