Some of our Year 8 pupils are off enjoying themselves at Shannaghmore Outdoor Pursuit Centre as part of the TBUC Programme.

St. John the Baptist’s College and Clounagh Junior School have the opportunity to run a shared education project entitled “Together: Building a United Community - Portadown Educates Together”. The project runs from September to December.

The aims of the project are:

  • To promote positive attitudes towards people from different backgrounds
  • To develop contacts and friendships between young people from different backgrounds
  • To encourage a shared community through shared activities
  • To recognise the role of young people in peace building
  • To create a safe community for young people and enable the sharing of experiences
  • To promote and develop cultural expression and a better understanding of and respect for cultural differences
