Academic & Pastoral Arrangements 200 applicants sought admission to the College at Year 8. 121 pupils were admitted, divided into five mixed ability classes according to choice of languages and friendship groups. At Key Stage 3 class sizes range from 20 to 26 in number; at Key Stage 4, from 11 to 29, streamed only for some classes in Further Mathematics at GCSE; and at A-Level, class sizes range from 4 to 20. All classes have allocated pastoral time with their Form Tutor for two periods each week. Lumen Christi College continues to offer the full Northern Ireland Curriculum at Key Stages 3 and 4. Learning for Life and Work was again offered in the GCSE curriculum using the collapsed timetable model. At Key Stage 4 the vast majority of students took a minimum of nine and some students took a maximum of thirteen GCSEs while, at Sixth Form, all students took at least three A-Levels. We are delighted to continue to engage with the Confucius Classroom Project in collaboration with Ulster University and Hanban University in China. 111 Year 8 students successfully completed the YCT1 examination, 8 Year 9 & 10 students were awarded YCT2 and YCT3, 3 Year 13 students successfully completed HSK.

On Monday 13th February, all our Year 8 pupils participated in a Cultural Celebration for Chinese New Year. Pupils all took to the stage to show off their vocal talents, singing songs they have been learning in Mandarin lessons. Pupils also enjoyed a Martial Arts Performance, a Mongolian Dance display and an Instrumental performance. Pupils then joined together to learn an ethnic dance and the celebrations were rounded off with a quiz on China. On Monday 1st February 2017 a group of students attended the Confucius Celebration of the Chinese New Year in the MAC Belfast. Chinese Consulate Madam Wang Shuying and Mr Dale Heaney DENI presented four Lumen Christi students with their prizes for winning the Confucius New Year Art Competition.

This contains a newsletter, staffing and pupil information, admissions criteria, complaints procedure and a wide range of policy documents on areas such as curriculum and pastoral provision, discipline, child protection, drugs awareness and relationships and sexuality education. Policy documents are also available in written copy to parents on request to the school office and the School Development Plan is available for inspection by parents in the school. Parents Information Evenings were held for Years 8, 10, 11 and 13 and afforded parents an opportunity to gain information required on a wide range of issues including careers advice, subject choices, relationships and sexuality education programme, child protection, special educational provision, study skills, drugs awareness and preparation for university. Year 8 pupils and their parents attended Induction Meetings in June and received copies of our Welcome Booklet. 2016-17 was another very active year for the Lumen Christi Parents Teachers Association. In January, members attended the annual Open Day and responded to questions asked by visiting parents and children. In March they organised a very enjoyable Irish Night which allowed us to showcase the musical talents of our students. In April, members of the Association were once again to the fore in providing hospitality for those attending the Spring Concert. Financial support from the Association went this year to a wide range of causes including purchasing soccer footballs for pupil use at lunchtime, a kit for athletics team, sponsorship for the pupils involved in Ulster Project as well providing refreshments for the End of Year Art Show and Walk to School breakfast. The main contribution this year was the purchase of much needed Ball Catchers for the grass pitch. All in all, 2016-17 proved to be a very satisfying and productive year for this very dedicated and hardworking group. Their work is very much appreciated by the Board and the entire school community. A formal complaints procedure to the Board of Governors exists for parents and is available on the school website; no complaint was lodged in the academic year 2016-17.

  • The Catholic Church and the Third Home Rule Bill

    The Catholic Church and the Third Home Rule Bill

    9 ‘Resigned to take the bill with its defects’: the Catholic Church and the third Home Rule bill Daithí Ó Corráin In its chronicle of events for 1912, The Irish Catholic Directory devoted just a single line to the introduction of the third Home Rule bill in the House of Commons.1 This contrasted sharply with lengthy entries on the crusade against evil literature, intemperance, the sinking of Titanic and clerical obituaries. Even more striking was the silence of the Catholic hierarchy, which, as a body, did not issue any statement. This reticence should not, however, be regarded as episcopal disapproval. The bishops shared in the general air of expectancy that nationalist aspirations would be fulfilled by 1914: this was the product of the two general elections of 1910; the Parliament Act of 1911, which limited the capacity of the House of Lords to veto parliamentary measures; and the commitment of the Liberal Party under Herbert H. Asquith to introduce a third Home Rule bill. But for the hierarchy the possibility of Irish self-government presented both potential benefits and lurking dangers. Their responses to the bill and the deepening crisis of 1913 and 1914 were conditioned by two overarching factors. 1 The Irish Catholic Directory (ICD), 1913, p. 515. 185 THE HOME RULE CRISIS 1912–1914 The first was their level of confidence in the leadership of the Irish Party. The second applied chiefly to the Ulster bishops: the prospect of exclusion from an Irish parliament imperilled their religious and educational interests. By the onset of the First World War, the spectre of partition had stretched their trust in the Irish Party and support for a Home Rule settlement to breaking point.
  • W. B. Yeats' Influence on Irish Nationalism, 1916-1923

    W. B. Yeats' Influence on Irish Nationalism, 1916-1923

    18 W.B. Yeats’ Influence on Irish Nationalism, 1916-1923 Mark Mulcahey 19 Mark graduated from Eastern Illinois University in 1999 with a B.A. in History. He is currently working on his M.A. at Brigham Young University, studying 20th Century U.S. Military History with an emphasis on U.S. military intervention. This paper was written for a course on The World in the Twentieth Century with Dr. Roger Beck. William Butler Yeats once said, “I understand my own race and in all my work, lyric or dramatic, I have thought of it . I shall write for my own people, whether in love or hate of them matters little, probably I shall not know which it is.”1 This credo is evident in the majority of Yeats’ literary efforts. Yeats believed literature should shape a country’s cultural identity, specifically in Yeats’ case, Ireland, while being free of all political motives. Despite this intention, Yeats’ literary addition to Ireland’s culture also contributed to radical Irish nationalism. Yeats’ main objective was to create an Irish identity free from English cultural influence. By no means was Yeats either an Anglophobe or an advocate for using violent tactics in nationalist movements. However, this did not prevent Yeats’ works from inspiring Irish nationalists who believed in using violence in order to attain self-rule. Padraig Pearse and Michael Collins, both of whom admired Yeats, interpreted Yeats’ works as supporting their respective ideologies during the Easter Uprising of 1916 and the Irish Civil War in 1922-1923. Yeats’ early poetry recounted Irish folklore, legends, and descriptions of Ireland’s natural imagery.

This special season in the church calendar celebrates the joy of creation, which encourages awareness of initiatives to protect the natural environment. We are reminded, during this time, of our duty to care for what Pope Francis calls ‘our common home’. When we hear the word ‘home’, we tend to think of the immediate place where we live and the people we share it with - our house or living space and our immediate family, neighbours and community. Each of us lives within a particular web of relationships that we call home. But we must be conscious too that we live in a wider relationship with the earth and with all of creation. We all live in a common home, and we all must care for it, and for each other. Our gospel today sees Jesus offer some advice about living in community. He first acknowledges that communities are far from perfect. We all struggle with our relationships and duties. But he makes one thing clear: in a community, we all have a responsibility to each other and to work to build harmony.
