One of the hardest days in the school year is when we say goodbye to our Post 16 Leavers. This year's Leavers have been an amazing bunch of students, and Park School will not be the same without them. We had a lovely Leavers Service where they all received their Record of Achievement folders. We wish each one of the twelve leavers all the very best for their future studies or work.

Well done to all those in Key Stage 4 and Post 16 who won prizes. There were subject prizes, cycling proficiency and Accelerated Reading target prizes.

It is almost the end of term and to celebrate the hard work of all our students we had our Prize Days. There were so many excellent students, the staff found it very difficult to choose in each subject. Well done to everyone who won a prize in our Key Stage 3!

Some of our students had a great time today at the Coca-Cola factory learning about the manufacturing processes, and having a few samples of the products.

‘Where’s Ma Keys?’ have had a very successful year and the BBC came to school to interview the team about their business plan that has lead to this success. Did you see them on the news today? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8932z5lnkjo?at_medium=social&at_format=image&at_bbc_team=editorial&at_campaign_type=owned&at_link_id=6897101C-5B21-11F1-8FD4-BC75BDDBF78A&at_campaign=Social_Flow&at_link_type=web_link&at_ptr_name=facebook_page&at_link_origin=BBC_News_NI&fbclid=IwY2x

10SA and 9CF had a fantastic time at their first ‘Food Nerds’ workshop yesterday with Hannah from Queen’s University. Hannah was very impressed with the students creativity. We are looking forward to having Hannah and some of her colleagues with us again on the 16th June.

Well done to our Y8 Team: Kaleb, Kai, Nicole, Mia, Leighton, Colen, Nathan, and Pearse who took part in the George Best Community Cup football tournament at Avoniel Leisure Centre today. We won two matches, lost two matches. Everyone played fantastic football and Leighton scored 5 goals! Well done to everyone!

Our Young Enterprise Team enjoyed a day off marketing to have a celebratory lunch together in Frankie and Benny’s. A well deserved treat!

Today, the Post 16 Spanish and HE classes joined forces for a fantastic tapas afternoon. Students enjoyed tasting a range of traditional Spanish dishes, including paella, gambas pil pil, tortilla, croquetas and albóndigas. It was a brilliant opportunity to bring language and food together, giving students a real taste of Spanish culture in a fun and memorable way.

What an experience!! Students from 9CF, 11NF and 12JK had a visit to Belsonic today to see what goes on behind the scenes. They even got to stand on the stage to see the view!
