We would like to invite Year 11 & 12 parents to an information evening on Monday 23 February at 6pm in the Assembly Hall in school. This event will benefit your child as they approach their busy exam season. This short information evening is designed to provide you with a ‘toolkit’ of practical strategies to support your child’s journey from now until the final exams.
Many parents ask the same question, ‘How can I help when I don’t know the subject material?’ The good news is you don’t need to be a subject specialist in order to be a brilliant revision coach.
In a world of ‘Tik Tok’ notifications and social media distractions, pupils can fall into a trap of passive reading and ineffective study methods. Backed by science and evidence-based research, we will show you how to turn revision into a manageable habit. Give your child the edge this exam season!
Sessions include;
- Beating the TIK TOK brain: Practical tips to manage digital distractions and notifications.
- The Pomodoro Power-up: Using timed focus bursts to encourage independent productivity.
- The CORE FOUR: strategies your child is using in school and can continue to use at home for all knowledge-based subjects.
- Well-being and balance: Managing procrastination, setting up a calming study zone and ensuring ‘guilt-free’ downtime.

Young Persons’ Behaviour and Attitudes Survey (YPBAS)
The Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) has been commissioned by various government departments (including the Departments of Education, Health and Communities) to conduct the ninth round of the Young Persons’ Behaviour and Attitudes Survey (YPBAS) which takes place every three years.
YPBAS is the primary source of information on the behaviour and attitudes of 11-16 year old’s living in Northern Ireland. Approximately 7,500 pupils took part in the previous survey in 2022. You can view the findings of that, and previous years, at: https://www.nisra.gov.uk/statistics/young-persons-behaviour-attitudes-survey.
Lisneal College has been invited to take part in this year’s survey. Participation helps ensure that the voices of students are heard and valued. The insights gathered will play a valuable role in shaping future policies for all young people across Northern Ireland.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE)
Congratulations to all of our year 10 pupils, who successfully completed their 2-day DofE Bronze qualifying expedition in Gortin Glen Forest Park, this past weekend.
The Expedition phase promotes personal growth, resilience, and teamwork, offering valuable experiences that foster leadership and self-confidence.
The weather was warm and sunny and the pupils thoroughly embraced their outdoor learning experience.
A huge thanks to the staff members who helped facilitate the expedition and to Mr Gordon Aiken and Mr Charles McFarland who assessed the pupils’ navigation, teamwork and camp-craft skills.
I think everyone is looking forward to some respite from the midges and a comfy bed!
Well done to all involved.
The pupils can now look forward to continuing their DofE journey back at Lisneal College.

Uniform Appeal!
Many people have items of school uniform that they have grown out of, no longer need and are taking up room in their houses. Instead of throwing the uniforms out, we are appealing for you to donate them to our school uniform bank, ready to be re-used by our thankful students! ♻️
The donation station will be outside the school office, where your child can drop off their donations until the end of June. 🌎
Drop-in sessions for parents/carers to access the uniform bank will be confirmed in June.
Thank you so much to everyone who helps with the programme, it has been a huge success over the past few years and many students have made use of your kind donations! 😊
