A second image, a sheaf of wheat is reflective of the importance of agriculture to the local economy. Many pupils come from farming backgrounds and there is a deep appreciation for the traditions and endeavour of members of the farming community, and an appreciation for the environment amongst these children. We would seek to extend this to all members of this house. The theme for this house will be ‘honest endeavour’ reflecting the hard work of our farming community and the importance of their labour for all of us. The school is built on the Crevenagh Road and the school grounds and surrounding land, though now urban, would have been farmland of local landowners. Part of the school grounds contained an orchard for a local landowner. This house will be named Crevenagh.
