Welcome to our  website at North Coast Integrated College. We hope that as this website continues to develop that it will become an increasingly valuable link between staff, pupils, parents and friends of the College. It remains our intention to build upon the cross-community support that we have enjoyed throughout the last decade.
North Coast Integrated College adopts a child centred approach; where every child matters regardless of ability, gender or background. The staff at the College is steadfast in their commitment to ensure that each pupil maximises their potential. This objective is made all the more possible as we endeavour to keep class sizes small. Pupils are given continual opportunities to develop academically, spiritually and socially within an integrated setting. The welfare and happiness of all of our pupils is of the utmost importance.

  The extensive range of extra-curricular activities on offer at the College provides further enrichment for our students.These activities range from sporting activities, the debating club, the environmental club, the drama club, as well as foreign language trips.

  North Coast Integrated College has a real sense of community which is tangible when experienced first hand.I hope that you will come and visit us to witness the uniqueness of our College. Parents and pupils who choose North Coast Integrated College not only choose integration, they choose quality education.

Formula Student Group Visit NCIC

As a College STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) initiative, Friday 30^th

April saw the visit of the Formula Student group to NorthCoastIntegratedCollege. 

Avril, Justin and Roy from the University of Ulster based team showed the Year 10 pupils a presentation of how a team of university students had designed and constructed a racing car which was later test driven on a track.

The pupils then had an opportunity to work in small groups on the ‘KNEX challenge’.  This required each group to design and build a self-powered model racing car using KNEX model building kits.  Once constructed these models were tested in a race between the teams, with a small prize at stake.

Everyone involved appeared to enjoy the activities and credit must go the Formula Student team for delivering such an interactive programme.

Given the success of this event the College intends running further STEM activities for Key Stage 3 pupils in the future.

           NORTHERN BANK VISIT
On Thursday 11^th February 2010 the Northern Bank, in conjunction with CEA, invited local     teachers to visit their Head Office. This was a fascinating insight into many roles behind the scenes at a major bank – including web design, human resources and economist.  As a Maths teacher, Mrs Mulholland thought it was great to see the resources that they have created for primary and secondary schools, which support the Northern Ireland curriculum. The Money Talks series of resources would be most appropriate for the College. The day concluded with a tour of the Northern Bank call centre, based in Belfast.

               FASHION SHOW        

Thursday night saw the culmination of a terms hard work by Year 10 pupils at the College with a hugely successful fair-trade sale and fashion show. The theme of the night was ethically surviving the Credit Crunch and the students of North Coast Integrated College certainly demonstrated that being an ethical consumer does not mean that one has to scrimp on style!More Info Click Here

               CRAFT CLUB

The craft club have been meeting every Thursday after school this term. To link in with the theme of the school fashion show, we have been using recycled material to create bags to sell at the show. Art kindly gave us the material and a sewing machine. Several club members have now learnt how to use the sewing machine as well as designing, cutting, pinning and hand sewing some of the bags.

The bags will be on sale at 50p each at the end of November and the money raised will go back into the club to buy the materials (cards and envelopes) that we need for making Christmas Cards during the month of December.

On Thursday night pupils, teachers and parents of NorthCoastIntegratedCollege, Coleraine, gathered to celebrate another very successful year at their annual prize-giving ceremony. The guest of honour was Clare Mullin, a past pupil, who also attended SalfordUniversity and achieved a First Class Honours degree. Claire is now enjoying a high-flying career as events co-ordinator for the famous, and very luxurious, 5-star Merchant Hotel in Belfast. Also in attendance were the Mayor of Coleraine, Councillor Gilchrist and Chair of the Board of Governors, Mrs Catherine Mullin. More Info Click Here
