🎉 EXCITING NEWS FOR OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY 🎉

We are thrilled to announce that our school has been successful in securing grant funding through the Curriculum Capital Programme for the development of a new synthetic pitch! 🙌⚽🏐

This fantastic investment marks another major step forward in our ever-growing sports facilities, further enhancing opportunities for participation, performance and enjoyment for all our pupils. The new pitch will complement our existing facilities, including our Weights Room, and will support curriculum PE, extracurricular sport and athlete development across all levels.

We are incredibly proud to offer such high-quality facilities, backed by an outstanding team of staff with elite sporting experience. Our pupils benefit daily from the knowledge, standards and inspiration of teachers who have competed at the highest level, including:

🏐 Mr McGourty – Antrim Senior Footballers & Antrim Senior Hurlers

🏐 Miss Gervin – Tyrone Senior Ladies

🏐 Miss Lavery – Armagh Senior Ladies

🏐 Mr McCambridge – Armagh Senior Footballers

🏐 Mr McAleenan – Down Senior Footballers

🏐 Mrs McKeever – Mayo and Armagh Senior Ladies, Tyrone Tower Basketballers ⚽️ Mrs McCabe Northern Ireland Senior Footballers

This funding will have a lasting impact on our school and wider community, helping us continue to develop sport, teamwork, leadership and excellence both on and off the field.
