Shimna News

Our Sixth Form students had the opportunity to meet representatives from a range of UK universities when the University Roadshow 2026 visited Shimna at the start of term. The event provided valuable information on courses, applications, student life, and future career pathways, helping students as they begin to consider their next steps beyond school.

This morning, we held a special get together to celebrate five members of staff, all of whom have reached 30 years of service: Joanne Anderson, Jacinta Doyle, Paddy McClean, Deborah McDowell and Grace Susay. Each of them has enriched the lives of generations of Shimna students and we are grateful for all they have contributed down the years. Long may it continue!
