All of our Year 8 and Year 9 pupils now have access to the Accelerated Reading Programme.

Pupils shall choose a book that they can enjoy reading from the wide selection in the school library. Once they have read the book they can then log into the website using the link below and answer the quiz for their book.

Over time this will enable each pupil to improve their reading skills. Pupils have been given their usernames and passwords by their English teachers.

As you will be aware the G8 summit comes to Fermanagh on 17 and 18 June. A letter has been posted to all parents outlining arrangements for the period 10-21 June.

Devenish College students were amongst 80 post primary students who discussed global issues at a recent conference. Students worked in cross community teams and represented their schools in topical, interactive and educational workshops.

The event took place at the Lough Erne Resort and the students made presentations to a broad spectrum of guests.

Last year 85% of all grades achieved at A level by our students were A*-C. 70% of our students achieved 3 A levels at grades A*, A, B or C which is 26% above the Northern Ireland average for non selective schools. These achievements were better than 20 grammar schools in Northern Ireland

Overcrowded? Not at all – there is a teaching space for every 11 students

ICT provision – there is a computer for every 3 children

Parents of Year 8 students attended an information session on Tuesday 25 September at 4.30pm where they had the opportunity to meet with our Vice Principals, Form Teachers, Head of Year and Key Stage 3 and SEN staff.
