Over 400 pupils aged 14-15 from schools in Carrickfergus recently learnt more about social media, staying safe and mental health at the 5th Annual Youth Fair at Oakfield Community Centre, Carrickfergus.
Hosted by the Carrickfergus Raising Attainment Group and the CYPSP Locality Planning Group, the fair offered the students from Carrick College, Carrickfergus Grammar, Downshire School and Ulidia Integrated College, a chance to find out more about services and activities in the local area.

The Fair is also a highlight in the school year for all the Year 11 pupils who attend it.” …. Read More
