• Getting Ready to Fly the Nest

  Sun 13 Jun 2021

   

  Our Yr7 pupils received news of their new schools today and I just want to pause for a moment to remind them:

  The bricks and mortar and fancy gates of your new school don’t make for a good education.

  The colour of a tie or blazer, does not determine educational outcomes.

  The number of Doctors or Masters or Honours graduates 🎓 on a staff does not ensure learning.

  Even the reputation of a school, positive or otherwise does not settle your educational opportunities.

  What matters is your resolve, your commitment to succeed, your determination to overcome difficulties and your understanding that within each and everyone of us there lies a reservoir of potential that we can never exhaust. Just bee 🐝 lieve in yourself ....

  There is a bumblebee poster hanging at the NASA Space Science Center that says:

  "The aerodynamic body of bumblebees is not fit to fly, but it's good that the bumblebee doesn't know about it."

  Aerodynamic theory would say the width of a 🐝 bee’s wings is too small to keep her massive body in flight; but the bee doesn't know this. The bee 🐝 knows nothing about physics or its logic; it flies.

  Bumblebees, regardless of the size of their wings, fly and enjoy such productive lives.

  Be like the bee 🐝 and fly despite whatever or whoever stands in your way. 

  PS I know I am guilty of mixing metaphors 🤦‍♂️

  You’re a star ⭐️ Helen and we look forward to following your career 👏🏻

• Year 7 Whirlwind Trip around Belfast

  Fri 11 Jun 2021

  P7 went on their whirlwind school trip around Belfast. First stop was the Titanic Quarter to have a tour of all the local landmarks hosted by Terry Madill from the Titanic Schools Project. The children got to meet engineers from FARRANS, a walking tour of the harbour and the Thompson dock, finishing with the Titanic memorial garden at City Hall where we met the high sheriff Michael Long. 

  Next was an all important stop at McDonalds before hitting the Prison Island escape rooms at Boucher. The pupils enjoyed a frenzied 90 minute session exploring the puzzles of the 25 rooms.   

  Final stop was Barnet’s Park. A great day was had by all. All home exhausted but happy.
