Some of our senior pupils paid a visit this week to @2RoyalAvenue, the amazing work the MayWe group continues to do in this sector is truly amazing.

It was hugely disappointing to hear that this valuable resource is due to be closed later this year. #Keep @2RoyalAvenue open.

Delighted to take part in such a brilliant programme, our pupils really enjoyed it!!

[Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission @NIHRC]

Yesterday, NIHRC staff led an interactive workshop with Mencap Heroes students at @StGerardsSS.

The young people learned about their human rights, the work of the Commission, sports and human rights, and more.

Thank you to @Mencap_NI and St Gerard's for having us, and to all the young people for their enthusiasm, engagement and great questions!

To build on the friendships formed during our class’s contribution to the school show, Shanice and Corinna’s class came together again for a cinema trip to Zootropolis 2. Pupils had the opportunity to practise their independence, social interaction, and money-handling skills.
