Hi there!
It’s full systems go for our production of Calamity Jane from Monday 23rd – Thursday 26th @7.30pm in the College Assembly Hall. All final costume, sound checks and acting skills will be perfected this weekend. It’s so exciting and the Cast have worked ever so hard - you are in for a treat!
Year 10 are through to the Quarter Final of the Loch an Iuir Cup after beating St Ciaran’s Ballygawley. We wish then every success in the next round after the Hallowe’en break.
Wednesday was a great day for the College as Years 8, 9 & 10 participated in the annual Sponsored Walk to raise funds for the new College Build. We had the perfect day to do the 1 mile walk around MUSA, and it was enjoyed by all. Thanks to the Year 14 Sports Leaders for looking after everyone. Building progress is fantastic to see on a weekly basis and your huge support will go a long way – thank you everyone who supported our young people with your donations. It is very much appreciated.
It was lovely to welcome our Primary Principals to the College on Monday morning for Year 8 Assembly, a chat with their past pupils, discussion around subject support and finally a visit to the new school build site. And who did we see when there – only P1 & P2 from Holy Trinity PS being shown around the site and watching all the diggers, machinery etc. A very exciting visit for the children.
We are extremely proud of our Library and via Miss Mc Adoo, our young people are well supported to read for pleasure, browse through books, especially the power of fiction. Pupils can also go to the LRC just to have some quiet time, space and research. It is a fabulous facility in the College.
Shared Education activities with Cookstown High School are very important and this week, the GCSE & A Level Art Students took part in a ceramics workshop with highly acclaimed artist, Stephen Farnan.
Agriculture is another shared activity and we are delighted to inform you of 1st place success for Rebekah Mc Donald in the UFU Women in Agriculture Schools Competition. Well done Rebekah – superb video – check out our Facebook site to watch this.
Big concert tomorrow night in the Burnavon by Tiny Green Island, who will donate to the building of our new school on the night. It’ll be a fab concert!.
Hope to see you all next week at Calamity Jane!
Have a great weekend
