Sports Day 2026

    26th June 2026


    Sports Day was a huge success, with everyone getting involved, giving their best, and having a great time! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️☀️


    It was fantastic to see the javelin back on the programme, with some very impressive results on display. Well done to all our students who took part and showed such enthusiasm, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the day.


    A special thank you to the Wellbeing Team, who made sure the staff got involved too! Their activities brought plenty of fun and laughter, with a water fight breaking out to round off a brilliant day. 💦😄

    Well done, everyone!




     
     
     

    ‘The ‘Stay Safe… Stay Out’

      26th May 2026


      ‘The ‘Stay Safe… Stay Out’ campaign is an initiative run by the Mineral Products Association NI (MPANI) in conjunction with our national organisation the Mineral Products Association (MPA),  on behalf of the quarrying industry every year to raise awareness amongst younger children, teenagers, parents, teachers and youth workers about the dangers of entering quarries uninvited and unsupervised.

       

      We are particularly concerned about teenagers who place their lives at risk by trespassing in both active and disused quarries. Over recent years, too many have been killed or seriously injured as a result of trespassing or swimming in former quarry sites across the UK and Ireland.

       

      Once again we are working in partnership with the Health & Safety Executive for NI (HSENI) to highlight the issue to school principals as we believe teachers in particular can play a vital role in spreading the message to young people that quarries are not a safe place to play.

       

      The attached joint letter from the Association and HSENI provides more detail on the very serious risks young people face by entering quarries along with further information and resources available to schools and it is our sincere hope that with your support we can get our ‘Stay Safe… Stay Out’ message to the young people in your care.

       

      Please do not hesitate to contact me at the number below if you would like any further information or to discuss the issue further.

       

      Regards

      Gordon Best

      Regional Director MPANI
