Belfast leaders display their commitment to school community
A huge well done to Year 13 YEHA Peer Mentor trainees at De La Salle College Belfast who dedicated two days of their mid‑term break to take part in an OCNNI‑accredited residential programme in Ballycastle.
This residential is a key part of the YEHA project, which has been running in De La Salle College for the past five years. Each year, our Peer Mentors help shape what comes next—learning about their roles, planning new ideas and getting ready to support younger students in the school community.
We are incredibly proud of their commitment, leadership and willingness to give up their own time to support others.
Inspire Now -NI Youth Conference 2026 QUB
We are very proud of our Year 11 pupil, Kyryl, who participated in INSPIRE NOW! – Northern Ireland’s Annual Youth Conference 2026 at Queen’s University.
The event brought together young people from across Northern Ireland to share ideas, build connections and take part in inspiring workshops on anti-racism, gaming and gambling awareness and ending violence against women and girls.
Well done, Kyryl, for representing our school and being part of such an important conversation.
St Agnes' Novena
It was a privilege for our College Choir to open the first day of St Agnes’ Novena.
We were delighted to be joined by some of our wonderful instrumentalists, as well as Lucia and Grace from St Genevieve’s.
It is always such a pleasure to share these special moments with our local community and to build relationships with the congregation in the Parish.
A special thank you to Fr McCullough for inviting us to be part of it all!
