Despite it not being our day, we are so proud of our U12 team! 
Lisneal College were defeated in the U12 N.I. Schools Cup. The match result ended up 3-0 to St. Columb’s College.
Firstly, a massive well done to St. Columb’s College for securing 3 in a row. A fantastic team, and a team we look forward to competing against in years to come!
To our boys. Your resilience and hard work throughout this cup run has been nothing but special. Beating a number of giant footballing schools across Northern Ireland is an amazing achievement. Despite playing well, it just didn’t go our way. Keep the heads up and we push on. Keep working hard with your local clubs and we are confident we will reach another N.I. Cup Final in years to come.
To all the pupils, staff and families attending the final, and to everyone who watched the match online. Thank you for your support all year. The atmosphere was fantastic, supporting the boys right up to the final whistle. Many thanks to Maiden City Soccer for providing a stream to the match.
To Coleraine Football Club. Many thanks for hosting this prestigious event today. Facilities were fantastic and staff really welcoming. Thank you!
Finally to all local clubs. Many thanks for everything you do with player development. Today was a special moment seeing both schools from the city in a cup final. We can all agree that football in the North West is on the way up.
Our boys will bounce back and we hope to see everyone again at the next N.I. Cup Final when we reach it!

World Poetry Day
On World Poetry Day, Friday 21st March, Mrs. Miller was delighted to accompany three of our fabulous pupils to the awards ceremony for the Foyle Schools Poetry competition which was held this morning. These three superstars are now published poets and have their poems published in this year’s edition of Rhyme & Reason. 
A special mention needs to go to English Literature student, Matthew who won first prize in the KS4 category, an amazing achievement and very well deserved. Well done to Hannah and Josephine who were awarded second and third prizes in their Key Stages. 
The English Department continues to thrive with such superb creativity and imagination amongst our

Battle of the Bands!
Last Friday, our talented Year 10 pupils took to the stage for an electrifying Battle of the Bands! After weeks of dedicated practice, they delivered fantastic performances of classics like Don’t Stop Believin’, Achy Breaky Heart, and Stand By Me.
Every pupil played a vital role. Whether singing, playing keyboard, drums, or bass to name but a few instruments – and their hard work truly paid off.
Thank you to Mrs. Flanagan, Miss Goodman, and Mr. Coyle for their support in making this event such a success.
Congratulations to our winning group who performed Chasing Cars with vocalists Maisie and Lexi and to our runner up group, 10O who performed Achy Breaky Heart.
Well done, Year 10!

Exodus Team 2025
Introducing Lisneal’s 2025 Exodus Team!
In August, eleven of our Year 11 and 12 pupils are heading off on an adventure to Hungary. 
Led by Jack McHendry (Exodus) and Miss Smallwoods, these pupils are committed to meeting weekly as part of their ‘Explore’ team. For 16 weeks, they will be planning and preparing for their summer placement alongside exploring the Christian faith.
When in Hungary, the team will partner with a local church and help to lead kids clubs, play sports and teach English to the young people there. This is a fantastic opportunity and we are excited to follow the journey these young people are embarking on.
