Week 24

Friday 14th March 2025

Hello there!

What a productive day today – discussing Year 11 GCSE progress and any areas for improvement with our Parents/Carers.  We appreciate the efforts parents/carers go to, in attending these meetings – they are so valuable and build on positive three-way relationships of school, pupil and parent/carer supporting each other.

We are so delighted that Year 9 Boys had another fantastic win against St Mark’s Warrenpoint and now progress to the Ulster Final of the Corn Colmcille Cup.  Well done Boys and of course to your Coaches – a Team effort.

Similar to the U-14 Girls – another success in the League against Aquinas Grammar with a scoreline of 5-25 v 0-0. Impressive to say the least!.

In promoting future pathways, it was great to listen to the Northern Trust talking about Nursing and Midwifery to Senior Students.  Year 13 Engineering Group also had a visit to Terex to find out about the varying roles within the company and see how their A Level theory is aligned with practical application.

We caught up again with Student Teacher Miss Loughran who is working with KS3 on Beauty Tips – a well-attended lunchtime class. A number of Year 10 will delve into this course in more detail for GCSE in Year 11.

With this being the lead-up to St Patrick’s Weekend, a number of activities were held across the College for Seachtain na Gaeilge – it’s great to see so much pupil involvement and celebrating our Irish culture.  

Don’t forget: Holy Trinity College will be closed on both Monday 17th and Tuesday 18th, so have a lovely relaxing and safe St Patrick’s Day on Monday 17th.

Have a great weekend.
