Sports Day 2009 at Mary Peters Track

The long awaited sports day finally came to pass in June and our luck held out for another year with sunshine in abundance.  The staff and students throughout the school arrived at Mary Peters in the early morning sunshine.  Students enjoyed the full range of atheletic events organised by the PE Department at Malone headed up by Mr O'Connor.  Photos from the day can be found on the gallery link on the home page. 

The staff at Malone would like to congratulate everyone on their participation and behaviour on the day.

Spanish Link with Cranmore PS

The Modern Langauges Department have continued to forge links with other schools.  This year A-Level Spanish students, Sinead McGee, Louise Gordon and Christopher Hefferon have been visiting Cranmore Primary School on a weekly basis to teach beginners Spanish to P7 pupils.

All those involved thoroughly enjoyed the placement, and in particular the interaction with younger pupils.  The link with Cranmore Primary School has also provided our students with invaluable experience which they have been able to include on their university applications.  The Modern Lanaguages Department also hopes to develop further language links with other local feeder schools in 2009-2010.

Year 13 ICT Students Visit Northgate

As part of a continued program by the ICT Department within the College to forge links with local IT companies, a group of Year 13 students recently visited Northgate one of Northern Ireland's leading IT companies.

Throughout the visit students had the opportunity to talk to a range of IT professionals about what their jobs involved as well as gaining advice about how to enter the IT profession and what considerations they should make when deciding what to do after they leave school.

Many students and parents are not aware that the Northern Ireland IT sector is still growing at a time when other sectors are not.  Students who have successfully undertaken a Computer Science degree have also been shown to be one of the highest paid graduates upon leaving university.

A big thankyou must be paid to Sabrina Sloan and Ciara McCoy from Northgate for organising the visit and taking the time away from their work to talk to our students and also to Kate McMaster from Momentum for helping to organise the link with Northgate.
