Lisnagarvey High School

Resulting from an extensive and on-going refurbishment programme, Lisnagarvey offers its pupils the most up-to-date facilities for academic, social and recreational development.

This year has seen the opening of our new Sixth Form Study suite, a multifunctional room designed exclusively for the use of sixth form students for their own personal study. All sixth form students have also been provided with laptops which we as a school feel plays a vital part in their learning process. Over the course of their two years students will participate in a scheme which allows them to purchase the laptop.

Purpose-built units for Science, Music, Technology and Design, Educational Technology and Career Guidance provide excellent working conditions in these important areas of the curriculum.

The excellent environment in which Lisnagarvey pupils work has been further enhanced by the new ICT and Technology facilities recently upgraded in 2005/6. A large number of classrooms are now equipped with electronic whiteboards allowing teachers to cater for different learning styles and increase student interactivity in lessons.

A high level of staff commitment and expertise gives pupils the opportunity to experience a wide range of extra-curricular activities.

The school has recently installed a state-of-the-art fitness suite comprising of fixed and loose weight stations, running machines, aerobics machines, cross trainers, step machines and bike trainers.

The school library provides resources to support the curriculum for both pupils and staff. As well as allowing for independent study the library promotes reading as a fun and leisure activity through whole class and extra curricular activities.
