On Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th January, approximately 1400 prospective
pupils and their parents attended Coleraine Grammar’s Open Evenings on the Lodge Road campus.
Upon arrival, guests were greeted by a our musical pupils playing and singing in the Assembly Hall.There, the Headmaster (ably assisted by two Year 8 pupils)
gave a presentation about the school.After this, pupils escorted groups of the visitors on guided tours of the school, stopping at various classrooms
to participate in some of the following: in Chemistry they did hydrogen “pop tests”, in History there were Suffragettes campaigning for votes for women
and model trenches on display.In Home Economics there were delicious mini carrot cakes or nutritious smoothies on offer, in Biology there were some
fairly gruesome dissections to observe, in Technology there were interactive activities with the pupils to assist.In Maths there were puzzles to complete
Drama, our budding actors and actresses demonstrated their skills.Whilst touring the classrooms the visiting pupils could look for clues of a treasure
hunt that they handed in at the end of the night with hopes of winning a big prize!
All subject areas showcased a wide variety of activities throughout the course of the evening.Once the tour was over, the Parents’ and Friends’ Association
were on hand to provide teas, coffees and snacks.Many thanks to all who attended the Open Evenings.
