Year 8 Trip to Cultra

15th Oct 2018
On Tuesday 25th, Wednesday 26th and Thursday 27th of September Year 8 classes visited the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum at Cultra as part of their induction programme.

Thankfully the rain stayed away, and a fun filled time was had by staff, peer mentors and pupils who spent time exploring the past and discovering how people lived over the centuries. There was even time to visit the sweet shop before the bus journey home!
