What a fantastic way to end the term!

Our Spring Concert, held just before Easter, was a truly wonderful evening filled with music, talent, and celebration. From start to finish, the performances were of a high standard, showcasing the hard work and dedication of our pupils.

It was lovely to see such a supportive audience and to share such a special evening together. A huge well done to everyone who performed—you made us all very proud!

BSS Horticulture and A Level Biology students recently enjoyed an excellent educational visit to CAFRE. The day explored a wide range of topics, including landscaping, slurry leakage management, floristry, glasshouse propagation, and hydroponics.

Students even embraced the muddy conditions to compare biodiversity in hedgerows, gaining valuable hands-on experience in ecological fieldwork. The packed programme kept everyone busy throughout the day and concluded with a well earned lunch that was thoroughly enjoyed.

Our thanks go to Toni and the CAFRE team for hosting such an informative and memorable visit.

Last weekend, Year 8 pupil Zach C. won the Irish Age Band Event, earning the title of Irish Weightlifting Champion. This prestigious competition required qualification, and Zach rose to the occasion with an outstanding performance. Despite sustaining a knee injury just two weeks prior, he trained intelligently around it and delivered an exceptional showing on the day - achieving two personal best lifts! Well done Zach!

Congratulations to Seth Wicklow and Bethany Gilliland (Year 11) who were the winners of the Easter Egg competition. The correct number of eggs in the jar was 139. Thank you to everyone who entered.

Happy Easter!

Well done to the Year 8 Boys Rugby Team at the Carrickfergus u12 High School Blitz. A great display of junior rugby in very wet conditions. Great team work!

Yesterday, our Mandarin teacher Wenjian visited the Home Economics department to demonstrate traditional Chinese cooking to pupils in 9JA. He prepared tomato egg noodles using authentic Chinese ingredients and flavours. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Phoebe and Zac Johnston (11K) have achieved an outstanding success—out of 560 talented auditionees, they have secured roles in the Summer Youth Production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the iconic Grand Opera House, Belfast.

This exciting production will showcase exceptional young performers aged 10–18 from across Northern Ireland and will run from 16–18 July. What an incredible opportunity for them both!
