Digital Media; 'Outpouring' Workshop
On Wednesday 10th June, Year 10 pupils, participated in a two hour workshop with the Nerve Centre, Belfast as part of their 'Outpouring' Project. During this workshop, pupils explored what it means to be a young person in Northern Ireland today. This creative, cross-curricular workshop integrated History, Art and Design, Digital Media and imaginative thinking, drawing on materials from the Northern Ireland Screen’s Digital Film Archive.
Pupils analysed footage showing the experiences of young people in N.I. over the past 50 years. They then used this as inspiration to create a Digital artwork using the app Procreate on the iPad.
This engaging and inspiring workshop was thoroughly enjoyed by all pupils and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Nerve Centre, Belfast for facilitating it.
As we continue our ERGS Alumni Spotlight project, we would like to thank the former pupils who have already shared their stories with us. We have been overwhelmed by the response from our school and wider community, with some alumni profiles receiving up to 40,000 views and generating tremendous interest on our Facebook page.
The aim of the project is to showcase the rich diversity of our alumni community. Every story is unique. Whether your journey has taken you to university, into employment, apprenticeships, family life, community work, entrepreneurship, or somewhere entirely different, we would love to hear from you.
Over the coming months, we hope to feature as many former pupils as possible, celebrating the wide range of experiences, pathways and opportunities that have shaped life beyond ERGS.
If you are a past pupil and would be interested in taking part, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact Mrs Magee (Head of Careers) at smagee609@c2kni.net for further details.
The inaugural ERGS Junior Golf Day took place on 9th June with Castle Hume kindly hosting this event. 20 budding Rory McIlroy's headed out to play on a wet but playable course with bags full of golf balls and no doubt some what lighter on their return! Despite the forecast and early rain before the first tee time at 10am, the conditions improved throughout the day.
As is the nature of the game there were some great shots that will last long in the memory and some not so good ones that are quickly forgotten. The cry of FORE echoed regularly around the course. The values of camaraderie, respect and resilience were all on display to varying degrees. For most this was their first experience of playing 18 holes on a course with an average round time of 5 hours.
We hope to provide the Seniors (Yrs 11-14) with a similar opportunity once they are back in school in September. Once a playing panel has been established then selection can begin for representation to the Ulster Schools Golf Ireland events.
Perpetual trophies for both the Junior and Senior competitions have been sourced and will be presented at the start of next term to each winner in what is hoped will become annual events.
If you are interested in taking up the game please speak to the Junior Convenors at the local clubs of Castle Hume GC, Enniskillen GC, Clogher Valley GC or indeed clubs further afield. All clubs are keen to promote Junior Golf opportunities.
Mr Hodgson
