Our Lady of Lourdes School, Ballymoney

WELCOME

Our Lady of Lourdes School ethos enables us to give children an education and a belief that they are beautiful as a child of God. As a community we strive to do little things with great love realising that no single act of love will ever be lost.

The school continues to attract pupils from across the ability range. Boys and girls of all abilities are thriving in our distinct small-school ethos and in our vision of enabling each individual pupil to bring light and dignity to the world – no child held back nor left behind.

We are proud of our pupils; their appearance, their conduct, their respect for themselves, others and for the school property. These are all sources of great encouragement in the present day and bring hope for the future.

Ballymoney Cúchulianns

Both our girls and boys Ballymoney Cúchuliann teams were successful and won the Ulster GAA Cúchuliann Initiative held at Meadowbank in Magherafelt. Ballymoney Cúchulianns were superbly represented by both Our Lady of Lourdes and Dariada schools. Both teams were unbeaten and performed excellently in all games. A credit to their schools, well done to all involved!

Handball Launch Event

Our Lady of Lourdes launches One Wall Handball Initiative with Year 8 pupils.

Two One Wall Handball courts were installed in the sports hall at Our Lady of Lourdes College, Ballymoney during the summer term and pupils now have the opportunity to participate in handball throughout the school year.

The Our Lady of Lourdes PE department welcomed Ulster GAA coach James McVeigh and Dunloy GAC coach Damien McMullan to deliver sessions with Year 8 boys and girls. During the session pupils had the opportunity to learn the basic skills and movements within the game and then participate in drills and match situations.

Throughout the morning, Ulster GAA coach James McVeigh and Dunloy’s Damien McMullan identified and rewarded good performance and attitudes from the boys and girls with spot prizes.

The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to future Handball events.
