Principal, Mrs. Quinn, addressed a packed hall, focussing on the family atmosphere and the emerging ethos of the college, ‘Believe, Achieve, Succeed’. Visitors heard that the Council for Secondary School Education, last year placed the college at number one in the province for A level results amongst similar schools.

As the college prefects took the parents of local P6 and P7 pupils around the building, they were entertained by a collection of interactive and dazzling displays in every department of the school. Pupils enjoy a wide range of opportunities within and beyond the classroom with a focus on an enjoyable educational experience and staff and college students did their best to talk to as many visitors as they could.

Many visitors commented very postively on the students they met, confirming they are great ambassadors for the college.
