Ulster Rugby are pleased to advise you of how tickets can be purchased as well as price and location of tickets for those who are supporting Dalriada School.

In order for parents and friends of Dalriada School to purchase tickets at a discounted School price, Ulster Rugby have set up a hidden purchase link which we would like Dalriada School to forward to parents. This will considerably cut down on allocation and administration of tickets via each School semi-finalist, allowing schools to sell tickets primarily for school children.

The purchase link for Dalriada School is:   http://www.ticketmaster.ie/event/38005050D7D414FD?did=school2

Please note all tickets purchased using this promotional code will be ’Print At Home’ tickets ONLY and a reduced booking charge of £1 per adult and 50p per school child will apply to each ticket purchased.

Translink have informed the school that all morning buses will run 10 minutes earlier from Tuesday 1st September. Please contact Translink if you require further details.

For any pupil who has a query or wants to make a change to their course after receiving their results today, please contact the school with the details or come into school on Thursday 20th Aug. after 2.30pm. Careers staff will be available in the afternoon after interviews with our GCSE candidates.

Please note there are no interviews for A/As level results on Monday 17th Aug.
