Huge thanks to @AndyBurnhamGM who joined students from @StAmbroseColl this afternoon to discuss issues surrounding homelessness.
The Q&A session inspired our students and thoughts now turn to how our school community can take positive action.

1/2 I tend to avoid the EduTwitter 'discussions' or any public comment on some controversial issues but I've been fairly vocal on term dates frustrations. I'm at a point now where I don't see any reason for English schools being open in July. Finish in June as happens in NI.

Wishing all our Ambrosian community a happy and restful summer.

A level results - 15/8/24
GCSE results - 22/8/24
Y7/12 return to school - 4/9/24

End of term message was 'Go to the well, wherever your well may be'. My well is a particular type of well; The Brandywell, Derry City. Couldn't be happier to have made it in time.

Big thanks to @StAmbroseColl staff, students & families who donated clothing and toiletries to @AsylumLink and to Ann Nichols for collecting them, following our performance of Real People. Donations are still being collected it's never too late! #togetherwithrefugees
An amazing day and thankfully the weather held. Huge thanks to Miss McCrory and all who helped organise. I'm sure my legs will feel fine in the morning.
Great weather today for our annual sponsored walk. We are raising money so that our sister school (St Ambrose Academy) can build more classrooms. Well done to all students for your efforts with fundraising this term! #compassionforthoseinneed

Remembering our Old Boy Liam O’Connor today. Thank you to all who attended.
You really don't want to miss this.
Not long until our school show 'Real People' makes its debut. Using the words of real people from research and interviews our cast and company look forward to sharing the experiences of people seeking asylum @StAmbroseColl Thurs & Fri 6.30pm #togetherwithrefugees
It was a privilege to host given the huge week for politics. Thanks to the candidates for their time & to Ben from CARITAS for helping to coordinate. On Wednesday, it's the turn of the students representing the different parties to take the questions ahead of our mock election.
