The team finished second out of thirty-two - the first time Northern Ireland & Ulster have won a medal in the event. Well done to Joanne and her teammates on this magnificent achievement!

Congratulations to Year 13 student Kari Foster, who finished in a commendable thirty-third place at the Senior Girls All-Ireland Cross Country Championships, held in Mallusk Belfast on Saturday. This marks another tremendous achievement for Kari, competing once again at a national level.

Earlier today, we welcomed Cerys Davies from Aberystwyth University to speak with our Year 13 students about university life in Wales, the UCAS application process, student finance, accommodation options and what studying at Aberystwyth has to offer. Thank you to Cerys for delivering such an informative and valuable session as our students prepare for their next steps.
