About Blackwater Integrated College
Our College philosophy provides a balanced environment so that children from all religious, cultural and social backgrounds can learn together.
Blackwater Integrated College Description
This social media site has been created to provide information for parents, students and other interested parties and to reflect on all aspects of College life.
Our College opened in September 2008. Blackwater Integrated College was formed from two existing schools, Down Academy Controlled Integrated High School and Rowallane Integrated College. The College has increased the number of available integrated places in the mid-Down area.
Our dedicated staff will continue to work in partnership with parents and Governors to ensure that the ethos and principles of Integrated Education characterise our classroom environments and college community.
Our college philosophy provides a balanced environment so that children from different religious, cultural and social backgrounds can learn together whilst valuing their own tradition and cultural beliefs. In this open community we aim toshare knowledge, respect difference and teach in a child-centred way that is structured to meet each child’s needs and aspirations.
Academic achievement is a principal target but it is also essential that each child can develop his or her self-esteem, self-respect and respect for others. The educational, emotional and social development of our children will be at the heart of the College.

Amazing work from BIC students Eva and Joshua who have been giving up their free time to make facemasks for volunteers in the community that cant get them.
We are all very proud of their efforts 👏👏👏
💥 Minecraft is now available for all BIC students.
💥Just log in with your c2ken.net email and enjoy. All details on how to access are on Google Classroom 🙌🙌
The second BIC activity challenge is from Mr Sunerton. We aren’t sure how many attempts he had but it was impressive nonetheless.
Again upload your attempts to Google Classroom to show us how you got on 👏
Some reminders below for parents and students. Unfortunately it looks like we are in this for the long haul so try and reach a balance.
There is lots of work on Google Classroom that can be accessed and staff to assist. Please remember though that in these exceptional times there are lots of considerations everyday, of which school work is just one.

First activity challenge for BIC students. Mr Taylor with the #toiletpaperchallenge

... Good luck and watch to the end 😉

Useful advice below from Familyworks, our school counselling service . Keep a look out for more information as they have announced today they will continue their sessions digitally or visit their Facebook page. 👊
All pupils in Years 8-10 have been given access to the Lexia CORE5 reading programme at home which is an excellent resource that allows students to work on their Literacy skills.
Pupils who attend learning support will be familiar with this but now all pupils have the opportunity to use it and work at their own pace.
See the sheet on Google Classroom in the Learning Support Classroom for guidance on logging in and if you are using an ipad or follow the link to login using a ...computer.
Year 8 will have access on a Monday and Tuesday and Years 9 and 10 from Wednesday to Friday so get logged in and just ask if there are any queries. 📚 📚📚👏

For the next few weeks at least and possibly months things will be very different for our students, parents and staff.
Don’t forget that getting some school work completed each day is important but it’s not the most important thing. Look after yourself and each other and don’t forget to exercise and be creative with new tasks and share them with us.
There were some great pictures today on Mrs Ward’s activity task and it’s amazing to see students being independent and rising to the challenges set 👊
Great opportunity for parents to have a break and students to listen to David Walliams books each day at 11am.

🌈 Join the worldwide trend and post a drawing or painting of a rainbow in your window at home. This is a way to spread hope to your neighbours and feel connected with humanity as we fight the spread of Coronavirus together.
🌈 Key Stage 3 students can take a picture of your window and upload it to the Art assignment in Google Classroom or send it to us via Facebook. Miss Jones will judge a winner on Friday.
