Our pupils and staff have arrived safely in Wuhan, where they received the warmest of welcomes. After getting settled in, they had the opportunity to enjoy their first Chinese meal together.

A lovely start to this very special experience, with plenty more adventures still to come!

Great to see our Kitcar Team featured by the Belfast Telegraph as they prepare to take on the international stage at Goodwood.

We are incredibly proud of our pupils and staff and everything they have achieved to get to this point. What an experience and what an opportunity to represent Ballyclare Secondary School!

Enjoy every moment, give it your best and know that everyone back home is cheering you on!

Good luck Team Ballyclare!

Our pupils and staff are now on their way from Edinburgh to Beijing.

Wishing all 21 pupils and our 3 amazing staff a safe journey and a fantastic experience. What an adventure lies ahead!

Safe travels everyone!

A very early start this morning for our amazing 21 pupils and 3 staff members, Dr Flint, Miss Beattie and Mr Hennessy, who met at Belfast City Airport at 4.15am to begin their journey to China!

They’re heading first to Edinburgh before making the much longer journey to Beijing later today.

We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable trip and hope they have an absolutely brilliant experience together.

Have the best time everyone!

We would like to thank @shelbournemotorsni Vehicle Rental for sponsoring our Kit Car team’s trip to the Greenpower International Final.

Our Year 14 BTEC Sport students, alongside our Year 11 Occupational Studies Sport group, enjoyed a fantastic visit to the home of Ulster Rugby.

The students were privileged to receive a behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium and had the exciting opportunity to watch players training as they prepared for this Saturday’s big fixture at the Affidea Stadium.

It was a brilliant chance to gain an insight into the demands of elite-level sport and an inspiring experience for everyone involved.
