Supporting Young Learners Through Creativity in Belturbet

Since December, a unique After School Club has been running every Friday afternoon in Belturbet, designed for young people whose first language is not English. Organized through the School Engagement Programme, the Club supports students who are struggling to engage fully in mainstream classes due to language barriers.

Using a creative and fun approach, the Club includes word and board games, sports, quizzes, dancing, and student presentations. These activities help build both language skills and confidence in a relaxed, supportive environment.

This initiative is a partnership between SICAP and St Bricin's College, and ran from December to April. It's a great example of how imaginative learning can make education more accessible for everyone.
