Foyle PE/Sports Kit
With Foyle College moving to a new single site it was decided to review the branding of the PE kit. When reviewing the kit there were two objectives
1. A single identity for Foyle Sport.
2. Ensuring the kit is affordable without affecting the quality.
From July the new Foyle PE/Sports Kit will be available to order through the school website.
More information will follow on pricing and how to order kit. You can keep up to date through the school website and the school social media pages.
Ulster Scots Scientists Across Ireland.
Yr8 pupils and primary school pupils from Ebrington PS and Drumahoe PS enjoyed the Science show from Science 2 Life this week at our Springtown assembly hall . The show has been launched by the Ulster – Scots Agency with an objective to encourage pupils to engage with science by learning about famous Ulster-Scots scientists and inventors.
It proved to be a fun and interactive opportunity to learn about science with pupils participating in experiments which explained the science behind the inventions of famous Ulster-Scots like Harry Ferguson and John Dunlop; and the discoveries of William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, who was the greatest British scientist of the 19th Century.
