No Smoking Day

Mr C. McFetridge — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 07:30:11 +0000

This year’s No Smoking Day theme is break free, an invitation to use No Smoking Day to make a lifelong change.

More than a million smokers will use No Smoking Day to try to quit.

The next No Smoking Day takes place today, on 10 March 2010. It’s the 27th campaign, and over the last quarter century it’s grown into the UK’s leading public health event, helping over a million smokers quit for good.

With No Smoking Day, there’s no pressure. When smokers are ready to stop, the No Smoking Day charity is ready to help, directing people to the support that’s right for them, when and where they want it.

Be sure to check our some of our pupils poems about smoking!

Young Enterprise 2010

Mr C. McFetridge — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:19:59 +0000

This year we had two groups attending the Young Enterprise Trade Fair in Foyleside Shopping Centre, which is the highlight of the year and when all their hard work can be put on display for members of the public and other schools.

The two companies Smile and Reflection both had a very enjoyable day at the Trade Fair experiencing the thrill of selling their products and competing with other schools.

Smile produced wooden plaques for a variety of rooms in the home and Reflection created a blazer pocket mirror.

Young Enterprise is an enrichment course offered in Year 13 and an after school activity in Year 10 so look out for the posters next year if you are interested in taking part.

Girls N Golf 2010

Mr C. McFetridge — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 08:56:53 +0000

On Wednesday 24^th February the Girls N Golf programme teed off at the Radisson Roe Valley Golf Course. The project is a joint partnership between Limavady High School, Roe Valley Golf Club and Junior Golf Ireland, which aims to encourage more girls to try golf and hopefully take it up. Led by our own talented golfer Mrs McCartney (Golfer of the Year in Portstewart Golf Club, 2 years in a row, and winner of many, many other awards and prizes) 14 girls braved the cold and wintry conditions to take part in the first session of the programme. The programme is pitched in a fun way and it allows the girls to develop their chipping, putting and long shot skills as well as making them aware of proper golf etiquette. Who knows the next Michelle Wie could be one of our girls, Mrs Mac beware!!!!!!

C5

Mr C. McFetridge — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:47:54 +0000

A-Level Product design students are currently studying ‘Advertising and Marketing’. The Sinclair C5 is a text book example of poor marketing. This product was launched in 1984 as a electric and pedal powered vehicle with no market research. Sir Clive Sinclair had made millions with his new ‘executive calculator and pocket TV’. He spent 70 million on the C5 which was a failure for many reasons as we discovered. We decided to test its performance in our playground, pushing the C5 to its limit!
