A massive thanks to the fabulous Brendan Murtagh from @PlanQUB who delivered a short lecture to our Year 14 pupils before guiding us on a tour of Belfast to see Ethnic Segregation across the city.
Over the last two days some Year 10 pupils have been collaborating with lecturers and masters students from the planning departments of @PlanQUB & NUI Galway as well as students from Holy Rosary Mountbellew & @presathenry and delegates from @galwaycountycouncil & @abc_council

Love the Year 10 entries to be part of our collaboration with @PlanQUB and the @abc_council looking into small settlements. Looking forward to getting out for fieldwork in a few weeks.
Every days a school day
Massive thank you to the @royalnavy crew of HMS Magpie for allowing a group of teachers on board to see the work they do on surveying the ocean floor, how the data can be used & great to see a different view of Belfast. ππ₯οΈπΊοΈπ§

Totally blown away by the generosity of our Year 14 leavers. It isnβt even about the gifts but more how thoughtful and personal you made them. Emma loves her new personalised π°

Thank you so much
