Update on Canterbury Kit
Due to unprecedented demand for the new Canterbury/Rainey PE and Games kit, the initial stock order which we received last week is now low. An extra order has been placed with Canterbury and we aim to have this for sale in school in about 4 weeks.We apologise to those who may not have got what they wanted initially - please bear with us! We have been working on estimated/projected quantities for each item in our first year at setting up the shop.

Wednesday 27th August
If you have not had the opportunity to order kit, there have been additional items ordered. Please see Mr Watt for an order form/price list or call him at the school (028 79632478) for more details. Regrettably, we cannot issue any kit until full payment is made.

The new website is finally up and running after the dramatic crash of the old one! We are still working at retrieving parts of the original site, but it is proving to be an uphill struggle! Thankfully, the majority of the photos and match reports are still available from other sources, so all is not lost! Please bear with us as we try to get as much content on in a short space of time as we physically can.
PS - Hope you all like the new design!
