Over the past 4 weeks, Lisneal College has been hosting a series of “Bring Your Grown-Up” sessions in partnership with the Department for Economy, Ulster University, Abacus and Helix and IZAK9. These sessions were filled with engaging and fun activities designed to boost parents’ confidence and skills in maths. It was wonderful to see so many parents getting involved and supporting their child’s learning journey.

The Year 10 Parent/Teacher and GCSE Options afternoon will take place on Tuesday 14^th January from 12.45-3pm. There will be an introductory talk in the assembly hall for parents at 12.45pm for approximately 15 minutes. As Year 10 is such an important time in your child’s life, we would really appreciate your attendance at this meeting. It will give you as parents/guardians, the opportunity to meet with your child’s teachers first hand and consider their GSCE option choices. Choosing the right subjects for GCSE study is very important as it can impact on their future career. There will be an opportunity to discuss how we can all work together effectively to achieve the maximum potential for your son/daughter. The careers service will also be available to provide advice, support and guidance.

Home/school links are vital to a child’s success in education and we at Lisneal strive to develop that partnership in order to meet the individual needs of every child. The teachers are available to discuss progress, highlight the variety of GCSE options within their subject area and how they can best meet the needs of your child. There will also be the opportunity to discuss any issues that may be of concern to you at this point. We look forward to seeing you there and thank you sincerely for your continuous support.

Please see the link below for the letter that was sent home with your child:

Year 10 Parents Meeting

The time has come for our Year 10 students to initially select their GCSE option choices. This is an initial trawl before our option blocks are selected in January.

All Year 10 students have been sent home with an option booklet, a letter for parents and the initial trawl list. Please read this carefully with your child and encourage them to ask lots of questions at home and at school regarding these subjects and potential careers options.

This should be returned to your child’s form teacher by Tuesday 17th December.
