OPEN WEEK – MONDAY 28 September to Friday 2 October 2015 from 10am to 2pm.
New-Bridge Integrated College opened in 1995 with founding Principal Mr Peter Agnew, 7 teaching staff, Caretaker, College secretary and 75 pupils. Parents from Newry and Banbridge worked together to fulfil their ambition for an integrated Post Primary School to facilitate Banbridge and Newry District and surrounding catchment area. 20 years on, the College enrolment has grown to 600 pupils and over 70 teaching and non-teaching staff combined. Plans for new accommodation to include classrooms, sports hall and 3D pitch have been approved.
To celebrate our 20th Anniversary, we are holding an Open Week from MONDAY 28 September to Friday 2 October 2015 from 10am to 2pm. A selection of Archive material will be on display for pupils, past and present and their extended family to view. We look forward to welcoming all members of our New-Bridge Community and all members of the public to visit us as we celebrate this momentous occasion.
