Congratulations to all pupils who took part in our Design a Pumpkin house competition. The overall winner was Kieren Hall of 8K, with a fantastic entry in a very competitive field. He gained one additional point for House McConnell, so well done Kieren. Miss Dunwoody would like to thank everyone who joined in the fun and took the time to carve your masterpieces. Points for House effort went to Collin (4 points), McConnell (3 point), Ollar (2 points) and Lindsay (1 point).

Last Thursday, the Translink Safety Bus came to school, to educate our Year 8s about staying safe whilst using public transport. The Safety Officer highlighted many issues including boarding and getting off the bus, storing school bags during the journey, and buying their tickets for a Glider route, as well as reasons for CCTV, the effects of anti-social behaviour and staying visible during darker evenings

Congratulations to Molly Keys from 8S who is now the new Glens of Antrim, age 11, Open Champion of 2022. Molly is with the Royal Tara Dance Academy. A fantastic achievement.

As it is Mental Health Awareness week, on Monday, the staff and pupils wore something yellow to raise awareness and donate money for the charity AWARE. The school was bright and colourful and quizzes, thankfulness boards and collections are ongoing until Friday. Thanks to Miss Dunwoody for all the organisation.

Following the futsal tournament last Friday, at The Valley Leisure Centre, both teams did very well. Year 8, a team that had never played together before, drew 2 games and lost 2 games. There were some great goals scored by these girls.

Also, the Year 10-11 team did fantastically and comfortably won every match that they played. The Year 10 and 11 girls got through to the semi-final and beat the opposing team! The girls strongly got into the final and of course, had the strength and ability to beat the other team. This means that the Year 10 and 11 girls won their regional final and are through to play all other regional finalists at a later date. Well done to all involved!
