As a school community we mourn the passing of Josh in this tragic accident. Josh achieved so much overcoming his illness, always positive and always smiling. Our thoughts are with the Fletcher family at this difficult time.
From today WHS has free period products available. Long term champions of this cause, we are delighted to facilitate this provision & continue the destigmatising of periods amongst our school community. Thanks to the senior pupils & staff volunteers.

Wallace High School is Lisburn’s top performing A level school for the second year running and features in the top ten selective schools in Northern Ireland.
The stunning February weather made today's charity 'Mud Run' extra special. Initial complaints that there wasn't enough mud were somewhat premature! Well done to all involved especially the A2 PE class for organising the event.
