Completion of refurbishment
Completion of refurbishment at Dean Maguirc College
A £500,000 refurbishment has taken place at Dean Maguirc College, Carrickmore which has resulted in the upgrading of the changing rooms/toilets as well as the cloakroom area of the school. It is another positive development for the college which continues to be oversubscribed annually. Commenting on this latest project for the school, the principal, Mr. James Warnock said “I am delighted to see the completion of the scheme which has given way to such enhanced facilities for the school, especially the P.E. department. The refurbished cloakroom area has added a new dimension to the school environment and I applaud the professional manner in which the work was carried out by the entire project team.’’
He added “Dean Maguirc College as you know has won various sporting titles over the years and one of my goals was that one day we would have modern changing facilities for our pupils who have played with such passion on the pitch. Of course it will also enhance the daily delivery of our physical education programme. Whilst part of the refurbished area will be out of use due to COVID–19, we look forward to a time that we can utilise such welcomed amenities.”

Academic Success
Dean Maguirc College applauds its G.C.S.E. pupils on their
academic success.
Pupils at Dean Maguirc College have been applauded on the results they have achieved at G.C.S.E. level during a year that saw the disruption of teaching and learning due to Covid 19 as well as Year 12 pupils not having the opportunity to sit their examinations at the end of Key Stage 4.
Whilst this year’s set of results were based on teacher grades, the principal, Mr. James Warnock said “it was the correct approach under the circumstances to use for the awarding of grades as the teachers are the experts and have the best knowledge of the pupils with regard to assessment and their ultimate attainment.”
He added “that much work had gone into finalising the predicted grades with the collation of the necessary evidence to support the outcomes, an assignment carried out by the teachers with integrity and professionalism.”
Mr. Warnock congratulated this cohort of pupils who had achieved the grades they deserved and wished them every success as they now progressed to their Post 16 studies at the ‘Dean’ or were transferring either to South West College, Omagh or Dungannon to embark on the next stage of their education.
The top achievers for 2020 at G.C.S.E. level were Conor McGarrity, Síofra Loughran, Jerome Cullen, Colleen Kelly, Anna Sweeney, Blaithnait Kerr, Aislinn Coyle, Eoin Conway, Caitlin Gormley, Niamh McElhone, David Morris, Clodagh McMenemy, Mary Gormley, Aimee Conlon, Pauriac McDonnell, Lorcan McGarrity, Alanna McGaughey, Shea Donaghy and Katie McMahon.
