Poor weather conditions didn’t deter a large number of prospective pupils and their families attending Craigavon Senior High School’s annual open night at the Portadown campus.

The event proved the ideal opportunity to learn more about the school and tour the facilities.

Photographer Tony Hendron went along to capture some of the flavour of the evening.
