Open Evening 2025
Each year, we invite the families of primary school students from within our community to spend some time with the staff and students. This is intended to help them decide which secondary school to choose when their child enters year 7.
There was a presentation from Mr McGeehin and two star students. Then the families were taken on tours of each subject area by our wonderful student ambassadors (undoubtedly the stars of the show!)
Thank you to everyone who gave of their time to make this evening a great success!
