1st & 5th year Buddy Day

On the 11th of December 2025, the Fifth Years partnered up with their 1st year buddies and engaged in various activities, encouraging bonding between years and learning for all.

The first group of first years, along with their buddies, enjoyed a table quiz with a variety of topics. They started off strong with questions on history, followed up with food, animals, Ireland and capitals of the world. All teams participated excellently and engaged well with each other. The winning team of the table quiz was Scotland Forever!

As that was happening another group took part in fun games in the sports arena, with half of the students playing dodgeball and the other half playing badminton. 

The rest of the students were in the library playing board games and getting to know each other better through competitive fun.

This was a great bonding experience for the students, encouraging unity between years. Thank you so much to the fifth year buddies and to everyone involved.
