The Academy will operate across three campuses:
Carthall Campus (previously known as Coleraine College), Bushmills Campus (previously known as Dunluce School) and Cloyfin Campus (previously known as North Coast Integrated College).
We took a look back through the photographic archives of the Coleraine and Ballymoney Times for some memories of life at North Coast Integrated College.
See if you recognise anyone...
