👏🏼⭐️Congratulations to our Netball Team!⭐️👏🏼
It was the first outing of the year for our Netballers as they travelled to Ulster University, Coleraine for a fantastic tournament, organised by Netball NI.
Their coaches, Mrs Parlato-Taylor & Mrs Howard were very impressed with their effort and teamwork and can’t wait for their next game!
Well done girls, you did us all proud!
☘️Ahead of a massive weekend for Irish Rugby, it was a very special day for our Year 6 & 7 children!🏉
They travelled to Dominican to see and get their photo taken with the Six Nations and Triple Crown Trophies. We heard all about Ireland’s recent success and loved sharing in the celebrations. Rugby World Cup fever is definitely building now at St. Patrick’s!
Thank you to Mr Coils and all at Dominican College and Coleraine Rugby Club giving our children this fantastic opportunity!

🌎International Languages & Culture Assembly🌏
We had a fabulous Assembly this morning as our children displayed their extensive knowledge of languages and cultures around the world. Each class have been focusing on a different continent throughout the week and were delighted to pass their learning on to their fellow pupils.
Thanks to Causeway Pre-school Portrush for joining us!
Well done everyone 👏🏼
Year 6/7 had a fantastic day at Mountsandel, learning all about the Stone Age.
We were transported back 10,000 years ago as we heard how to survive and thrive in Ireland’s first known settlement.
Thanks to Causeway Coast and Glens Museum Services for a brilliant day!
🕊️Confirmation🕊️
Congratulations to the Year 7 pupils who received the Sacrament of Confirmation today at St. Patrick’s Church. We loved gathering together again as a Parish community to celebrate this important milestone. Our thanks to Monsignor Delargy and Fr McGuckien for a beautiful service.

✨Mary, Elaina, Fintan and the PTA for the wonderful refreshments in the Hall afterwards.
✨Roisin Doherty for her continued work in preparing the children for Sacraments.
✨Margaret and the Parish Choir for their lovely musical accompaniment to the service.
✨Mr Quinn, Miss Kerr, Mr Dinsmore, Elaina, Jacqui and Cara for preparing the children for today and for their work behind the scenes.

Thank you all!
🙏🏻 Sacramental Retreat 🙏🏻
Children in Year 3 and 4 had a lovely day at their Sacramental Retreat, delivered by Living Church Down and Connor. This allowed Year 4 to reflect on their Holy Communion, whilst helping Year 3 to prepare for their own next year.
The children had an enjoyable time completing a range of craft activities, drama and reflection.
A huge thank you to our fantastic retreat leaders Grace and Martina.
🌟Karol Crawley Cup Finalists 2023🌟
We are so incredibly proud of our two football teams who took part in the Annual Portrush Schools Cup in memory of Karol Crawley today.
In the ‘A’ section, the team went on a 7 game unbeaten run, winning 5 and drawing 2, before missing out in a penalty shootout in the final.
We were so pleased to see so many of our school community come out to support, including the youngest pupils in the school who backed their team throughout. Our thanks also to the past pupils and parents for their vocal support. The ice lolly delivery from one parent was much appreciated in that weather!
The boys and girls have been working throughout the year on improving their footballing skills and were delighted to be able to show the progress they have made today.
Well done to all those involved on a fantastic display.
Thanks to Jason Quigley for the organisation of today’s tournament and thank you to The Quays for providing refreshments for all of the children taking part.
