Despite temperatures of around 30°C, Carly has taken on a range of roles including referee, assistant referee and fourth official, even resuming a match at 8am after it was postponed due to thunder and lightning.
On her return to Northern Ireland, Carly has also been appointed to referee the Schools U16 Girls’ Cup Final on 19 March at the Blanchflower Stadium, Belfast. A fantastic achievement and a great ambassador for our school. 66 Likes
Several events were also held during the week in the Library.
Year 8 and Year 10 pupils took part in ‘Murder by the Book’ activities. Pupils solved anagrams and riddles and located clues hidden in books to reveal the victim and cause of death, the murderer and the time and location of the murder.
Who would have thought that Matilda could have killed Harry Styles or that Alex Rider would have caused the death of Mo Salah! Pupils said that they had great fun and really enjoyed taking part in the Murder by the Book activities.
Year 9 pupils were challenged with a ‘Guess the Book Title’ Competition and staff took part in a book swap in the Library.
Key Stage Three pupils took part in the Book Oscars and voted in categories such as favourite book, author and book series. ‘Dog Man’ by Dav Pilkey, the American comic book writer, won the category for best Comic Book/ Graphic Novel. Miss Agnew, Librarian, contacted Dav Pilkey to tell him about how our pupils had voted ‘Dog Man’ as the winner and how we were celebrating World Book Day and the National Year of Reading in Slemish College. Dav was very kind and sent a lovely message to our pupils.

A tactical change at GS and GK saw the girls pull away in the third quarter, opening up an eight‑goal lead going into the final period. The Larne girls came out strong once again, putting our team under pressure and narrowing the gap, but our girls dug deep defensively and secured a superb 21–18 win!
A fantastic all‑round team performance. Well done, girls! 🙌🏐
We head into our next game against Dunclug on a positive note. Thank you to Larne GS for a great, competitive match. 23 Likes
