Open house and coffee morning to raise funds for charity as Dunluce School 'closes its doors'
A north coast school, which is to become part of the new Causeway Academy, is to hold an ‘open house’ to allow past pupils and staff to revisit the school and raise money for charity.
Dunluce School in Bushmills will amalgamate with Coleraine College and North Coast Integrated College to become the Bushmills Campus of the new Causeway Academy.
To mark the ‘closing’ of Dunluce, an Open House and Coffee Morning has been organised for Saturday, May 23.
The event is ‘Celebrating 52 years of memories 1974-2026’.
Posting on social media, the school said: “To pupils, parents, staff and friends of Dunluce School, past and present: before we close our doors for the last time, we would like to invite you to an Open House and Coffee Morning on Saturday 23 May from 9.30am-12pm.
"You will be given the opportunity to see around the school, visiting your old haunts and remembering your favourite subjects. You might even see one or two of your old teachers.
”Tea, coffee and freshly baked goods will be available in the canteen for a suggested minimum donation of £5. All proceeds from the coffee morning will go to our Macmillan Mighty Hike team.”
The new Causeway Academy will open on September 1 this year across all three existing school sites. The Principal Designate is Ruth Harkness and the Academy will operate across three campuses during this transition:
Carthall Campus (previously known as Coleraine College), Bushmills Campus (previously known as Dunluce School) and Cloyfin Campus (previously known as North Coast Integrated College).
