The first day of Year 8 marks the beginning of an exciting journey for our newest pupils at Ballyclare Secondary School!

To all our Year 8s — we’re so proud to welcome you into our school family. Today is about new friendships, new adventures, and discovering all the amazing things you’re capable of.

Whether you're feeling excited, nervous, or a little bit of both — remember, every great journey starts with a single step.
