House History
Stevenson House came into existence in October 1950 and was named after Joseph Stevenson, who was the first Secretary of Inst. He held this office from 1807-1837 and is regarded by many to be the real founder of the school. His personal qualities were said to be ‘untiring energy and conspicuous tact’, and it was hoped these qualities would be maintained by all members of the House. His portrait hangs in the school boardroom to this day.
During the 1980s Stevenson House was phased out of existence in response to a drop in entry numbers and, as the youngest House, it was the first to go, later followed by Jones. Thankfully, by the start of the 1990s the school saw its enrolment rise sufficiently for the House to be reinstated.

These were impressive grades, and we wish them and all the other Year 14 leavers the best of luck with their future university careers.
Stevenson pupils’ successes extended beyond the classroom, with pupils of all year groups collecting various co-curricular accolades. In Year 8, Seth Cochrane was part of this year’s school production of ‘Romeo and Juliet’; Christian Moreland sang in the choir group ‘Fulton’ and performed in St Mary’s Cathedral for Rolex. Furthermore, Ollie Jones played for the rugby and cricket ‘A’ teams, and also won two English awards for outstanding academic performance. Year 9 successes saw Daniel Preston compete in and win the Blackpool Cup football competition. Daniel was also selected to play for the South Belfast Youth League team in Limerick; Sam Coulter, Ryan McBride and Max McCausland played for the U13 A rugby team, and Sam was selected for the Ulster Development squad. More successes were recorded by Charlie Bogle, who placed 1st in the High Jump, while Alfie Anderson also finished in 1st place in the 1500m race at Sports Day. Away from sport, Paul McElhinney won the Junior House Chess Championship and Drew Shields-McArthur was a member of the Cadets team that won the Best Section Award. The Year 10 class had an outstanding year once again, with Connor Hanna representing Ireland in Water polo, as well as representing Antrim in Gaelic football; Noah Gillespie, Robbie Ingram, Henry Greenlees and Lorcan Hogg completed the Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award; Lewis Milevsky competed for the Northern Ireland Inter-battalion Cadet rugby 7s team in England and represented the Inter-battalion Cadet Group in the 100m sprint event; Alfie Devonshire won the House Rowing competition, while Oscar McGonigle won the 1500m race at Sports Day. Oscar, Callum Armstrong and Reuben McIlwraith were members of the Under 14 rugby team that won the RBAI tournament. It was another productive year for Year 11, with some excellent sporting achievements: Alex Harrower, Joel Hewitt, and Louis Campbell won the Ulster Schools’ Medallion Shield. Alex and Louis also qualified to compete at the Irish Schools Athletics Championships in the Triple Jump and Discus respectively, while Bailey Duncan was selected for the RBAI U15 Richardson Cup winning team. Year 12 pupils also recorded a string of accomplishments, with Rory Comer representing the RBAI badminton team that won the All-Ireland Championship. Rory also represented Ireland U17 Badminton in Sweden; Nathan Johnson was a member of the 3rd XV Cup winning Colts rugby team; Seb Berryman enjoyed a successful year in the pool, winning his Ulster races and finished second in the All-Ireland race; Fred Harrison represented Ulster hockey at U16 level and the RBAI 1st XI team that won the McCullough Cup; Deacon Mill was a part of the FTC Robotics team that won the robotics competition at W5, while Toby McKnight successfully completed the Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. Year 13 recorded another successful year, with James Clark, Milo Carter and Euan Paterson being selected for the Schools’ Cup winning 1st XV. In addition, James represented the Ulster U18 squad in the Interpro matches; Max Whitely and Oliver Douglas completed their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. Max also swam for the RBAI Bath Cup team, while James Moody competed in the Antrim Threes Novice Cup in boxing.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr McMillan and the tutors for their tireless dedication to the House and its pupils throughout the course of the year. Many of the successes highlighted above are down to the support they gave us. We hope all members of Stevenson excel in the forthcoming year, be it on the sports field, the stage or in the examination hall.
