"I've settled into Hunterhouse really well.
I was nervous on the first day but after that
I was fine! I've made lots of friends and my
teachers are really nice. There are a lot
of sports on offer and I play badminton,
football and hockey."
-Carla Mulholland - Year 8
 
 Year 8 girls have an annual residential
trip to Cultra and a History trip to
Carrickfergus Castle.

“I like Hunterhouse College because of the after-school clubs.  There is something for everyone, as they range from sport to art clubs.  In Year 8, I really enjoyed the trip we went on to Cultra.  We did many activities including a scavenger hunt and a day as a Victorian schoolgirl.  I am really enjoying Hunterhouse and the teachers are kind and caring.”

Katherine McClearn, Year 9
