A lovely visit today for our Post 16s from Lagan Search & Rescue. Such a great opportunity to hear about safety in the water and how they are able to carry out rescue operations in the Lagan. To top it off they got to look around a decommissioned boat and jeep and try on some of the equipment. Thank you to Stephen and his team.

We had the Education Minister in school on the 22 nd  Oct to officially open our new Immersive Room.
