Welcome to our May/June edition of our final edition of Click for the school year 2010/2011. We have all settled into our new school and are enjoying the benefits of our fantastic building with great anticipation of our Running Track and other Athletics facilities being ready for our Sports Day on 14 June. Also on that day we will be officially opening our Sports Hall which was partially financed with a grant of around £350,000 from Big Lottery and we will be privileged to have Dame Mary Peters with us to open the facility. The rest of the outdoor facilities will be completely finished over the summer ready for our return in September when we will have our large Astroturf hockey pitch, tennis courts, landscaped grounds and pedestrian access at Dunkeld and Marmount Gardens. This will also help to alleviate the traffic congestion at Dunowen Gardens and we all can’t wait for everything to be completed and we can enjoy all of our school campus.
We are now into the examination season and I wish everyone well in all of their papers and would make a plea that a revision programme is prepared and strictly adhered to as it is essential nowadays that good qualifications are obtained in order to progress into employment or further study. Remember to get a balance between work and relaxation so that all girls are on top form going into the exams .I also want to congratulate the Year 13 Young Enterprise girls who were runners-up in the Northern Ireland Company of the Year and Winners of the award for the company with the Most Innovative Idea of the Year. This was a joint effort along with our partners Our Lady of Mercy and Little Flower and it was interesting to note that we were the only non-grammar schools to reach the Finals Night at Belfast City Hall. Kirsty Knowles, the Managing Director, deserves special praise for winning the prize for Individual of the Year for her work with the company. Also good luck to out Student-Led Rock Challenge entry which made the finals in Grimsby at the end of May after performing so well at the Waterfront Hall at the NI Heats at the end of March.
I hope you enjoy reading this edition of Click and I am looking forward to receiving my copy of the new school magazine Flick which will be in circulation shortly, once again well done to Mrs Natalie Clarke and her student editorial team.
