Huge Congratulations to Our Amazing Robotics Team!

4th Jun 2026

We are incredibly proud of our talented team of four coders, along with Mr W. McColgan, who achieved an outstanding 2nd Place at the Tyrone and Fermanagh Schools Robotics Competition, held at Mannok in Derrylin!

This is our first year entering the competition, making this achievement even more special. The team showed exceptional patience, skill and determination throughout the event. Even when faced with setbacks and the worry that their code had been lost, they showed true resilience—persevering and even giving up their own time at home over the weekend to prepare.

A huge thank you to our supportive parents, including Mr Devine, who kindly supported the children in their preparations. We also extend a very special word of appreciation to Mr McColgan for his commitment in organising, supporting and accompanying the team throughout the competition.

We are so proud of everything you have achieved—what a fantastic success for our school community! 

Enjoy your well-earned rewards, the glory of your achievement, and the bright future ahead of you in the world of coding and beyond!
