SHARED EDUCATION PROJECTFrom January to June 2016, the Shared Education Signature Drama Project ran for all Year 9 students in the MLP. Pupils participated in a series of four lessons taught by Miss Cassidy in different venues across the MLP. These lessons were focused on themes of reconciliation, dealing with conflict and dissolving boundaries. Students had a great time and made a lot of new friends along the way. From September 2016, Year 10 students will be involved in a Shared Education History Project while Year 9 will again have shared drama lessons. CLAN PROJECT (RAISING STANDARDS IN LITERACY AND NUMERACY)As part of raising standards in Literacy, a number of students in Year 11 and Year 12 were identified and provided with extra support in the form of intensive revision classes delivered by Mrs Mary Diamond. This was a continuation of a successful programme initially started by the Collaborative Literacy and Numeracy Project throughout the Magherafelt Learning Partnership. In order to promote Literacy, students were successfully entered into the Business and Professional Women’s Speaking Competition, winning their area heat and with Sarah Gallen winning Best Chairperson in the regional final. The Valentine’s Day Poetry Reading was held in February for Year 9s, with staff from other departments and older students also joining in; proving that in St. Mary’s, Literacy really is whole school. Around World Book Day, assemblies were visited and a number of competitions were held: Book Mark, Portrait of an Artist and designing your own book cover. Literacy Support was embedded across all year groups with teachers and classroom assistants providing support to low and under-achievers throughout the year. At the beginning of the academic year, Year 14 students aided Year 12 students who underperformed in their summer module in order to help them prepare for the repeat in January. RUGBY WORLD CUP TRIP As part of the continuation of the MLP Sports Tours initiative led by St. Mary’s and Magherafelt High School, a large group of St. Mary’s pupils attended the Rugby World Cup in London in September along with pupils from the other local post-primary schools. The group had a brilliant time starting with a go-karting competition in Newry and culminating with watching Ireland play in the Rugby World Cup. SECTION 3: EXAMINATION OUTCOMESThe examination results for 2016 show that, once again, St. Mary’s ranks among the top performing schools in Northern Ireland. In the Sunday Times Parent Power Survey in November 2016, St. Mary’s was ranked 5th in the Top Ten State Secondary Schools in Northern Ireland.
