Let us introduce the new Student Leadership Team by listening to some of their speeches. Their ideas will now create a manifesto. We are inspired by Barack Obama's words about the power of our voice #theyearofeloquence #NBSproud #NBSStudentLeadershipTeam

The dress rehearsal for the Gym & Dance went so well - we can't wait for the show tonight! #NBSproud #GymandDance

The official handover of the keys of power has happened this week. The outgoing student leadership team have passed on their reigns to the newly chosen team. We also paid tribute to the outgoing team who have made a significant difference to our school. #thankyou #nbsproud

In Geography our year 7 students have produced some fantastic contour models and maps to complete their map skills topic. Their effort and accuracy was commendable. Some of the models were even of real landscapes! #NBSproud #NBSgeography

Day 3 in Rome 🇻🇦 Standing beside ‘Angels Unawares’ in St. Peter’s Square—a powerful sculpture of 140 migrants & refugees, inspired by Hebrews 13:2. A poignant reminder of the struggles faced by so many in our world today. #NBSPilgrimage #PilgrimsOfHope #AngelsUnawares

A rare and special moment in Day 3 of our Rome pilgrimage—thanks to Mr Linnane, we were granted access to the tomb of Pope Adrian IV (Nicholas Breakspear), the only English Pope. A humbling experience in the sacred vaults of St Peter’s Basilica. #NBSPilgrimage #PilgrimsOfHope

Day 3 in Rome 🇻🇦 Standing in St Peter’s Square, we felt the heart of the Church. Inside the Basilica, its grandeur left us in awe. Some took time for Confession, experiencing grace in this sacred place. A truly moving day. #NBSPilgrimage #StPetersBasilica #PilgrimsOfHope

Day 3 in Rome 🇻🇦 Exploring the Vatican Museums was an unforgettable journey through history, faith & art. From ancient sculptures to Renaissance masterpieces, every room told a story. A true treasure of Catholic heritage! #NBSPilgrimage #VaticanMuseums #FaithInArt

Standing beneath Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, we were in awe of its breathtaking beauty. From The Creation of Adam to The Last Judgment, every detail tells a story of faith & redemption. A moment of wonder we’ll never forget. #NBSPilgrimage #SistineChapel (No photos allowed)

We then went to Sancta Scala, we climbed the Holy Stairs, believed to be those Jesus ascended before His trial with Pontius Pilate. A moment of deep prayer and reflection, retracing His steps with reverence and humility. A truly powerful experience. #NBSPilgrimage #HolyStairs

Walking through St Paul’s Outside the Walls, we were struck by its grandeur—the towering columns, shimmering mosaics & vast nave. Standing by St Paul’s tomb, we reflected on his mission & our own call to live with faith & courage. A deeply moving experience. #NBSPilgrimage

Stepping into St Paul’s Outside the Walls, we were in awe of its vast nave, intricate mosaics & towering columns. The papal portraits lining the walls remind us of the Church’s unbroken leadership from St Peter to Pope Francis. A truly humbling experience. #NBSPilgrimage

Day 3 in Rome 🇻🇦 NBS visited St Paul’s Outside the Walls, a stunning Papal Basilica built over St Paul’s tomb. A powerful place of prayer & reflection, reminding us of our mission to share faith, love & justice. #NBSPilgrimage #StPaulsBasilica #FaithInAction

Business Studies students took part in a Taylor Swift SMART REVISE challenge. Organised by Mr McFadden, they had to complete 152 questions to match the 152 tour dates that Taylor performed during her ERA's tour. Congratulations to the top 3 students who achieved 100% accuracy!

While Yr10 & Yr11 immerse in Rome’s history & culture, staff learning continues at home! Honoured to represent NBS @IrelandEmbGB for the UK launch of The Ghosts of Rome by Joseph O’Connor—an inspiring evening of literature, history & lifelong learning. #NBSLearning #RomeToLondon

Day 2 in Rome continues! This afternoon, we immersed ourselves in the sights and sounds of this incredible city, visiting more historical landmarks—especially the iconic Spanish Steps. A perfect blend of culture, history, and a little time for some well-earned retail therapy! 🏰
