This year, Ballyclare Secondary School’s Year 12 students stepped into the spotlight for a night of pure glamour at the stunning Galgorm Resort & Spa. The venue was transformed into a Hollywood-inspired wonderland, complete with red-carpet moments, sparkling lights, and the classic elegance of a movie premiere. Students arrived dressed like stars, ready for an evening of celebration, photographs, and unforgettable memories. From cinematic décor to the dazzling atmosphere, the night captured the excitement of a true blockbuster event — a perfect way for Year 12 to celebrate their journey together in style.



















Dr Flint will be travelling to China from 7th to 16th March 2026. This visit will allow Dr Flint to build on the experiences shared by Mrs Shingleton following her visit last year, as well as to gather further information ahead of leading a group of 27 pupils to China in October 2026.

All pupils, please check Google Classroom for the work you should complete at home. Work will be set for the subjects you would have today.

The Met Office has issued a high-level Amber Weather Warning for Storm Chandra. We are closing following a thorough risk assessment.
We believe it is better to make this decision tonight rather than early tomorrow morning to allow families time to make necessary arrangements. Hopefully, everything will be a little more normal on Wednesday.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Please stay safe.
