On Tuesday 30th April, 2013, 53 boys and accompanying staff embarked on the annual field trip to Portaferry as part of their AS Biology studies. Specifically, the boys carried out a transect and shore profile of a rocky shore near Lee’s Wreck on what proved to be the sunniest & warmest day of the year so far. The trip also included a guided tour of the Exploris Aquarium.
The 3 XV played in the final of the Cup against Campbell College at Pirrie Park. The team worked incredibly hard all season to get to this position. The standard of rugby was incredible from both sides on the day, but RBAI had the edge. During the very tense game, the team showed real guts and determination in both defence and attack.
Students from across Northern Ireland became MEPs for the day at the European Youth Parliament, which was hosted by Belfast Metropolitan College at its Titanic Quarter Campus on Thursday 21st March 2013.
One of the joys of a school such as Inst is its ever popular Music Department. Responsible for hosting some of the most anticipated events in the school calendar, these spectacular performances represent the best and brightest of the school’s musical talent.
