At Blackwater IC we offer a range of different extra curricular activities for our pupils which we believe is essential to build upon and complement classroom learning. These activities include team sports, dance and homework hub. We also try and offer the opportunity for lunch time activities where possible as many of our students find transport difficult for after school clubs. Activities change at different times of the year and we try where possible to meet the requests of students for popular activities.

School trips are another important part of school life and we have recently offered Water Sports trips to Spain, Ski trips to Italy and Language trips to both Paris and Barcelona. This is something we feel enriches student experiences at the College. More local trips through the year include Houses of Parliament in London, Carrickfergus Castle, Belfast Christmas markets, Dundonald Ice Bowl and different trips to reward students as part of our positive behaviour programme.

We have a Youth Club which runs on a Friday night once per month which many students attend in the College.  We also offer a Summer Scheme for both our incoming Year 8 students and current students in Years 9-12 which will cover a range of indoor and outdoor activities.
