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.

Shared Education Today some of Year 8 students were involved in the Harmonies for Reconciliation project which was delivered by the Connecting Minds Project in partnership with Beyond Skin. The students discussed peacebuilding, cultural understanding, environmental reflection, and youth leadership. We look forward to continuing this project later in the year. ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿช˜๐Ÿช˜
Our Year 8s have wrapped up 4 weeks of indoor football to finish off 2025, showing great energy, teamwork, and improvement each week. A fantastic way to end the year! Theyโ€™ll be back in action in January 2026 to play the remainder of their games โ€” weโ€™re excited to see them build on the momentum in the new year! ๐Ÿ’ชโšฝ
Congratulations to our Year 10 student Travis who won an orange belt at a recent Ju Jitsu tournament! ๐Ÿฅ‹
8Bโ€™s Christmas term class project was on one of our school Core Values- Kindness. As a class we decided to demonstrate Kindness and the gift of giving by collecting considerable donations for Benvardin Dog Kennels and Ballymoney Foodbank. Two very important charities that help all those in need, especially at this time of year. A special mention to our pupil Maisha who was the driving force behind our special class Christmas project. She was delighted to receive a special recognition certificate for her Act of Kindness during this project from Mr Smyth. Well done we are all so proud of you! ๐Ÿ”ดโšซ๏ธ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ

8B would like to showcase their Christmas project โ€œSkinny the Nutcrackerโ€.ย  We are so blessed to have so many creative and imaginative students building and designing this all from recycled materials! ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ…
