Year 8 Comments

"The weekend before school I started to worry because I wasn't sure if I had everything I needed. I got nervous too because I didn't know what the people were going to be like. I'm quite shy. When we started going to our lessons I got confused a lot between the upper and lower schools because they are the same. I know where everything is now. I'm not as scared or nervous as I used to be because I know the school and many people. Secondary school isn't as bad as you think it'll be."   "If any P7s read this don't be afraid to come to Secondary School" Amy Morton

 

"Some teachers have been alright and some have been really cool." Christopher McNeill

 

"Its been absolutely brilliant. I have made new friends. I like all my teachers. For my extra-curricular I'm in the choir. It's good but you have to put in a lot of effort." Janita George

 

"In P.E. there are lots of clubs like netball, hockey and gymnastics. I like netball the most." Christina McCahon

 

"When I started Coleraine College I was looking forward to going to a bigger school and meeting all my teachers. The teachers are really nice to me, they don't shout a lot and they make sure you are happy at school. The only extra-curricular that I am in at the minute is the choir and the reason I like being in it is because you get to go out places to sing and have a good time." Demi McKay

 

"Tomorrow I'm going on the Dublin trip which will be fun. I just hope that I don't feel sick on the bus. I like the school lunches and everything but I think they should have two sandwich bars so the lines would be shorter. I also enjoy going to table tennis at lunch-time, it is a lot of fun learning how to play table tennis. I'm starting to get used to Coleraine College I'm enjoying it very much. I just wish my sister went to Coleraine College with me." Sarah Thompson

 

"Before I started Coleraine College I was afraid I wouldn't fit in because I knew nobody in First Year. I have made loads of new friends." Lisa McLaughlin

 

"The thing I was looking forward to the most was P.E. because we go swimming for two terms. I had heard a lot of rumours that people get punched and kicked but it's not true at all. It's all made up. When I was going to Secondary School I thought I wouldn't make any friends but I made a lot of friends." Kyle Walker
