• BE BRIGHT, BE SEEN

  Thu 31 Jan 2019
  This week, each pupil received a high visibility vest to wear on their journey to and from school; helping us to BE BRIGHT and BE SEEN. Johnny from Sustrans visited each class later in the week to discuss the best ways to stay safe as cyclists and pedestrians. He encouraged us to consider walking/cycling as part of our daily travel. #sustrans #bebrightbeseen

  Well done to our Soccer stars who came second in the Mullan Cup competition! The games took place in Score Centre in Coleraine where the team finished top of their group, winning all three matches! After breezing through the quarterfinals they met a strong Millburn Team in the semis but St.Columba’s came out on top once again! The team played Harper’s Hill in the final and unfortunately luck wasn’t on their side this time round, the boys and girls fought to the bitter end and came home with a runners up medal! 🥈
