Matthew's Movie

Thanks a million to Matthew Denvir for our copy of his award winning film. Shimna has a pretty impressive back catalogue now of famous film makers, and Matthew is up with the best.

Famous Dan

Looking through the Careers Express, the newsletter of SERC, I spotted the famous Dan Wormell receiving his award for Commitment to Enhancing the Student Experience. He looked great, and we are delighted to see him receiving such an interesting award. Please come and tell us what you are up to, and how you did the enhancing.

Lyndsey and Sophie

Did you see the beautiful photo of Lyndsey Straney and her new daughter Sophie in the Belfast Telegraph. Apparently Lyndsey's older daugher, Lucy, is just delighted with her new sister.

Ollie's Umbrella

Wonderful to hear from Bente that Ollie Elsholz is about to graduate in music, and has already started his own label, Umbrella Music. That's just fabulous and we look forward to hear what he does with it.

Two Happy Mechanics

i was delighted to be hailed from a car by two bronzed God students of mechanics, Kyle Rooney and Philip Treacy. Both love their course and certainly look as if they are thriving. Keep in touch!

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.

Sports Success

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.
