I genuinely think that to close this school would be a backward step for the children of Dundonald.
As one of the first pupils to start at what was the boys high school I feel sad that the education authority are even thinking about this proposal.

]]> Sat, 31 Aug 2013 03:19:40 UTC 15722255 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/15686844?utm_medium=rss I am a former pupil of Dundonald High - 1970 to 1974. My brother was also a pupil who went on to university and so was my sister (Head Girl)also a university graduate. Dundonald gave me a foundation that helped me greatly in my future endeavours. I graduated from Queen University and did graduate work at Queen's and the University of Pennsylvania. It provided a working class boy from Tullycarnet with the confidence to succeed.
Today I am a Assistant Vice-President for a large Insurance company in the USA...it would not have been possible without the excellent teachers at Dundonald. Northern Ireland cannot afford to abandon its working class youth...I failed my 11+ but Dundonald provided my brother, sister and I the means to excel. Please do not take away the opportunity for other children to also succeed.

The school provides a vital service to children in the Dundonald and surrounding area. If the education board and Government provided adequet resources to the school it would thrive and grow.

It needs invested in and supported in order to grow and develop. Dundonald High has been left and forgotten about whilst other schools get grants, facelifts etc!! What are the children of our community supposed to do and where do they go if this school closes! What transport/school buses is there available to allow those who live in Dundonald to attend other schools? Yes there may be some transport but not enough!! Invest in this school instead of making excuses and forcing other secondary schools to become larger with even higher numbers of pupils per class (which in my opinion 30+ is already FAR too high) therefore affecting education and attainment as a teacher can only do so much in such a large class! Pupils who are not coping as well as others end up being left behind! How is that a good choice for the education of our children, the future adults of our community!!??? A long, hard look needs to be given to these politicians!!

In my opinion a decline in pupil numbers is down to under-investment at the school over the years. This school is ideally situated to serve potential pupils in East Belfast and North Down. It seems shortsighted choosing to close underperforming schools (like Orangefield High) than taking the long term strategy of investing in a school like Dundonald High to make it a 'first choice' school for parents. Please save Dundonald High!
