The calm before the storm. Oxford University Open Day about to kick off. Looking forward to visiting a few colleges and facilities.

About to head to Formal Hall at New College Oxford on a beautiful summer evening. Dress code was relaxed because of the heatwave!

[DebateSocBGS @DebateSocBGS]

Boys working hard preparing for their next turorial at New College Oxford. Having a great time at the Oxford University Summer School. @BGSPrincipal

Well done to all the speakers in today's excellent Junior interhouse debate. And congrats to Dufferin!

[Dufferin House BGS @DufferinHouse]

Big congratulations to Jasper and Gabriel who today won the Junior Debating competition by defeating Crosby House! Excellent result and four very much needed House points! #DufferWin @DebateSocBGS @KWILL1103 @CrosbyHouse @BGSCouncil @BGSPrincipal

[Dufferin House BGS @DufferinHouse]

This Friday, the mighty Dufferin will face the minnows that are Crosby in the Senior Debating Final, proposing the motion 'This House is Proud of the Year 14.' Get to U9 and watch, all year groups welcome. #DufferWin @DebateSocBGS @CrosbyHouse @BGSCouncil @KWILL1103

[DebateSocBGS @DebateSocBGS]

Next week: Senior Interhouse Final. Motion: This House is proud of the Y14. @CrosbyHouse v @DufferinHouse

[DebateSocBGS @DebateSocBGS]

NEWSFLASH. Today's motion 'This House demands an Irish Language Act Now' was PASSED by 38 votes to 32! An unexpected result but perhaps an indication of shifting opinions. @BGSPrincipal

[DebateSocBGS @DebateSocBGS]

@DufferinHouse @DramaBGS @BGSPrincipal @KWILL1103 @BGSCouncil @WardHouseBGS @CrosbyHouse @SchoolHouseBGS It was a narrow victory but a victory nonetheless. Debating was the real winner

[Jacqui Devlin @DevlinJacqui]

@DramaBGS Thank you. I hope this is evidence enough for those parents who question Mrs Huddleson's care and concern for her pupils safety.

[Elizabeth Huddleson @ElizHuddleson]

Good morning. I have driven to and inspected the school site. Bangor Grammar is open. Salting has started. Boys should come straight into atrium.

[DebateSocBGS @DebateSocBGS]

@DianePetherick Bangor Grammar School and Glenlola are open too. So are most Belfast grammars.

[DebateSocBGS @DebateSocBGS]

@BenHerron150 @BGSPrincipal Most Primary schools in Bangor are open.

[DebateSocBGS @DebateSocBGS]

@Cyril_MacDuff @DevlinJacqui @DramaBGS School is open for those who can make it. No-one is forced to come in.

[DebateSocBGS @DebateSocBGS]

@Cyril_MacDuff @DevlinJacqui @DramaBGS Every primary school in Bangor is open

[DebateSocBGS @DebateSocBGS]

@BGSPrincipal Every primary school is open today so I suspect most Grammarians should make it in.
