BETTER TOGETHER

 

Welcome

It is with great pride and pleasure that I warmly welcome you, and your family, to St Patrick’s High School. Students in St Patrick’s are happy and cared for, we have high expectations and instil an aspirational mindset.

We are an all-ability, co-educational Catholic school where every child is recognised and celebrated as an individual. Our child-centred focus ensures that each and every child is guided and supported to shine both inside and outside the classroom.

St Patrick’s is a vibrant learning environment, and this inclusive, caring community ensures success for all in every aspect of school life.

At St Patrick’s High School, we are committed to providing a holistic education that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to create a supportive and stimulating environment where academic excellence is achieved alongside personal growth and spiritual development. We believe that every child has unique gifts and talents, and it is our mission to help them discover and develop these to the fullest.

Our Catholic ethos and faith are at the core of everything we do. It guides our values and shapes our actions, fostering a sense of respect, compassion, and service to others. Our motto “Respect for yourself and Consideration for others” drives us in all we do.

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum that caters to the needs of all our students, ensuring they are well prepared for whichever future pathway they choose to follow. It is our hope that every child will succeed and follow a path that brings happiness, satisfaction, and where they can contribute effectively to society.

Our extracurricular activities provide rich opportunities for students to explore their interests and develop new skills, from sports and arts to community service and leadership.

We are proud of our strong partnership with parents, parishes, partner primary schools, and the wider community. Together, we work to create a nurturing environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and spiritually.

Thank you for considering our school for your child's education. We look forward to welcoming you into our community and embarking on this exciting journey together.

The year 10s enjoyed a great (and warm!!) trip to Emerald Park to finish the school year 👏🏼🎢
🐄 ABP Angus Youth Challenge – Study Trip Day 1 🐄 Gráinne, Minnie and Sally got their study trip underway as part of the ABP Angus Youth Challenge, with an exciting and informative first day at ABP Linden Primal, Dungannon. The girls heard from Lisa from ABP, who explained the journey of sustainable beef production from insemination right through to processing, highlighting the importance of sustainability and traceability throughout the supply chain. They also learned about the various stages involved in meat processing at ABP Linden. A highlight of the day was a guided tour of the processing facility led by Martin, who took the girls through the chiller and explained the different cuts of meat, the importance of fat and muscle in meat quality, and why a bigger animal does not always produce better meat. ABP Linden is renowned for processing beef and lamb and preparing and packing fresh meat products for supermarkets, food manufacturers and other customers across the UK and Europe. The group also had the opportunity to hear from Kellie McEvoy and Clement Lynch from the Ulster Farmers’ Union (UFU), who spoke about the role of the organisation and the opportunities available within the agricultural industry. To round off a busy and educational day, Gráinne, Minnie and Sally presented their project presentation to the other participating schools, representatives from ABP, and UFU representatives Kellie McEvoy and Clement Lynch. A fantastic start to the study trip, with plenty of learning, networking and new experiences. We look forward to seeing what the rest of the week brings! 🌟 #ABPAngusYouthChallenge #ABP #Agriculture #FutureFarmers #YouthDevelopment @abpangusyouth

🇷🇴 School Aid Romania – Day 4 Today was one of those days that reminds us exactly why we make this journey. As always, the day began with our trip to Selgros, filling trolleys with food, toiletries, and essential supplies. What may seem like an ordinary shopping trip becomes something so much more when you know the difference those items will make to people who rely on them. We then visited the old people’s home in Săcele. For many of the residents, a friendly conversation, a smile, or simply having someone take the time to sit with them means the world. It was a privilege to spend time with them, listening to their stories and sharing precious moments together. Their warmth and gratitude touched every one of us. Later, we travelled to Brădet Orphanage, home to two houses supporting young people and adults with severe learning difficulties. It is impossible to leave a place like this unchanged. The residents welcomed us with smiles, hugs, and a joy that shines through despite the challenges they face every day. Their courage, kindness, and ability to find happiness in the simplest things is both humbling and inspiring. Days like today are emotional. They remind us how fortunate we are, but also how important it is to care for one another. Every donation, every act of kindness, and every person who supports School Aid Romania helps bring comfort, dignity, and hope to people who need it most. Thank you for helping us continue this work. The impact of your support can be seen not just in the supplies we deliver, but in the smiles we share and the connections we make along the way. ❤️🇷🇴 #SchoolAidRomania #ChangingLives #Community #Hope
Haven had a great morning at Tannaghmore Gardens and Farm with our friends from Lisanally Special School
