Over the past few weeks, pupils participated in a series of interactive workshops that explored three key strands of exploitation, including how young people can be targeted, the tactics commonly used by perpetrators and the impact these issues can have on individuals and communities. The sessions were delivered by experienced facilitators who encouraged pupils to think critically, ask questions, and reflect on real-life scenarios. As part of the programme, pupils learned to recognise warning signs, understand their rights, and identify trusted avenues for support. Overall, the event aimed to empower our Year 10 students by increasing their awareness of the different forms of exploitation present within local communities and equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to stay safe and seek help when needed.

This year, our focus is on empowering pupils to make wise and responsible decisions when navigating the online world.

We believe that digital citizenship is a partnership between school and home. Therefore, we strongly encourage parents and carers to extend this learning by discussing internet safety with their children.

The attached Social Media Guide may assist you in navigating these important topics. We hope this resource helps you initiate these vital conversations and supports your child’s awareness of how to stay safe online.

Nendrum faced a very professional Girls Model Belfast side in the quarter-final, and unfortunately with a few illnesses and injuries GMB prevailed. We wish them every success sin their Semi-Final. Many of the girls stepped in to different positions and some players even stepped up to the senior team for the first time to help and they did just that. Maisie B our captain had an excellent performance in defence, away from her usual striker role, earning her POTM. Kimberly K had an excellent game in left wing, providing key chances and Rubee R and Maddie N (not pictured) worked tirelessly to press opposition and create chances. Whilst we have not progressed, can we take a moment to appreciate that our small school and small squad had reached the FINAL 8 teams in this Northern Ireland wide Cup competition. This is a huge achievement and the best part is, we won’t lose any players next year! Onwards and upwards for these girls, we now have the league to contest! #smallbutmighty
