Loads of Old Scholars at Once

They all came along to our celebration Tea Party to receive their GCSE certificates. This was the replacement do for the Presentation Evening which fell victim to the snow. It was particularly good to see our first Greenmount students, Sam Wright and Stephen Newell, Sam in agriculture and Stephen in horticulture. Jenna's hair was spectacular and everybody had grown up tall and glamorous.

Great to meet Claire McCauley at the careers fair in the Slieve Donard. She was staffing the SERC sports studies stall, and celebrating her nomination as sports studies student of the year. Claire also has an interview at Liverpool John Moores University to look forward to. She looked great and it was a pleasure to hear of her success.

News from Subway that Ryan Doran has graduated and is now completing a PGCE in maths at the University of Sunderland. Adam, between shifts at Subway, has graduated in politics and is now working at an internship in Belfast, which he really enjoys. Good stuff you two.

Good to meet up with Samuel Rose when he called in to collect his certificates. Samuel has tried lots of routes and is now applying for uniformed forces. He is through lots of sections of the assessment process and things are looking good.
