Midgie Bites and a Tan

Our intrepid Gold Duke of Edinburgh Expeditioners arrived back this afternoon from their Trossachs five day hike. They did a great job, along with the Limavady High School group, with Shimna into the campsite first every day (well almost every day!). Campbell did a great job organising, watering and minding them all and deserves a gold award too. Very well done all. Look out for a very embarrassing slideshow soon!

Sporting Fundraisers


Amnesty International raised £100.00 at their sponge throwing event, and huge thanks are due to the victims. The Students' Council are still counting their loot, and deserve to have raised a huge amount for the huge effort they put into organising a fantastic alternative element to our sports day. Thanks for: buns; egg and spoon races; sack races; face painting; nail designs; ice pops and all sorts of other things. Trojan effort.

Father Murray Comes Home to Shimna
