    Year 9 Pupils Flying High

    By Enniskillen Royal | Latest News | Comments are Closed | 17 May, 2025 | 5

    On Friday 16th May 2025 Magee University hosted around 80 students from the Royal Academy of Engineering Connecting STEM Teachers network across Northern Ireland for the Amelia Earhart STEM Challenge.

    Five of our Year 9 pupils travelled to Magee University this morning to take part. The event is Co-organised with the School of Computing, Engineering & Intelligent Systems. The event commemorated the 93rd anniversary of Amelia Earhart’s historic solo transatlantic flight and her unexpected landing near Derry in 1932.

    Students took part in exciting design competitions from Longest Flying Distance to Best Plane Aesthetics showcasing their creativity, engineering talent and teamwork while celebrating Amelia’s incredible achievements and her special connection to the city.

    Huge congratulations to our Year 9 pupils (Ellie McCauley, Hollie Sharpe, Matthew Brownlee, Martha McCreesh & Maya Kettyle ) who were winners of the Amelia Earhart Legacy Association Perpetual Trophy! Their reward? A thrilling helicopter ride over Co Fermanagh taking in breathtaking views of lough erne and beyond!

    To top it off, Ulster University were also hosting the renaming ceremony for their engineering building as part of today’s event and our Year 9 pupils were invited to unveil the new name alongside the Mayor of Derry.

    A day they will not forget in a hurry!

    Year 8 Activity Day – A Grand Tour of ERGS! ⚽🍦💦
    On Thursday, our Year 8 pupils embarked on an epic tour of all three ERGS sites, making for a day packed with fun, friendship and just a little perspiration!
    We set off from Algeo Drive and made our way briskly (at least at the beginning!) to the Eisenhower pitches at Lough Shore via the Round O. Upon arrival, pupils were rewarded with a complimentary Slushie or Whippy – essential fuel for the eagerly anticipated ERGS World Cup.
    Despite the sweltering conditions, there was no shortage of energy or enthusiasm on the pitch. After some fantastic football, our champions emerged victorious: Argentina for the girls and Portugal for the boys. Well done to all who took part!
    With temperatures continuing to soar, a water fight was the only logical next step. What began as a cooling-off exercise quickly became a full-scale aquatic battle. Mr Gaston seemed to become the main target – somewhat surprisingly, not only for the pupils but also for several of his usually trustworthy colleagues!
    The journey to Cooper Crescent followed, although describing this leg of the walk as "brisk" would be extremely generous. Both pupils and staff were beginning to feel the effects of the heat, and the pace became decidedly more leisurely!
    After a well-earned lunch and some relaxation in the Cooper Crescent canteen, everyone was refreshed and ready for an action-packed afternoon. Activities included Tennis, Mini Sports Day, Wobbly Waiter, Wet and Skippy, and Pass the Water, ensuring there was plenty of laughter, teamwork and healthy competition to round off a memorable day.
    A huge thank you to all staff who helped make the day such a success. From football victories to water-fight casualties, it was a fantastic way for our Year 8 pupils to create new friendships and lasting memories during their first year at ERGS. 🌟

    Year 10 Activities Week Surfing Trip to Rossnowlagh

    Year 10 spent the day at Rossnowlagh Beach for surf lessons with Bundoran Surf School, who provided excellent guidance throughout. The waves were a little tame, but this meant many pupils were able to get up on their boards and enjoy the experience.

    After surfing, pupils played beach games and spent time together on the sand - we couldn't have asked for better weather. Behaviour was excellent and the group represented the school very well.

    The day finished with a stop at Tickety Moo for a delicious ice cream before heading home. An enjoyable day out for everyone involved.
