🦋 BUTTERFLIES IN P2 and P3🦋

P2 and P3 are learning about the life cycle of a butterfly this term. They had 5 eggs to begin with, but this week there was much excitement when the butterflies emerged from their chrysalis! 

The children observed them as they practised using their wings, before releasing them into the garden. Such a wonderful way to connect to the world around us and feel the magic of creation!🦋

🕊️Confirmation Day🕊️

It was a very special day for some of our Year 7 pupils as they received the Sacrament of Confirmation at St. Patrick’s Church. 

We loved gathering together again as a Parish community to celebrate this important milestone. 

Thank you to everyone who made the day so special: 
✨Fr Delargy for the beautiful service and his continued guidance.
✨Roisin Doherty for her work within the parish preparing for Sacraments.
✨To all the staff and parents who contributed towards today. 
✨To our pupils, who make us so proud today and everyday! 

Finally, a special word of thanks to our PTA for decorating the Church so beautifully and for all the work that went into preparing the refreshments in St. Patrick’s Hall afterwards. Thank you for your continued support.

😀As you can see, there were lots of happy faces at Rugby Avenue today as our Girls Football Team played brilliantly at a local blitz!😀

Winning 4 games and drawing 1, they were very proud of their efforts on the pitch. Even more pleasing than the results, was the positive attitude the girls displayed towards each other and the opposition in each game. It’s been fantastic to see the continued development of Girls Football at St. Patrick’s, well done everyone!

☘️Happy St. Patrick’s Day to our pupils, friends and family, near and far!☘️

We enjoyed a wonderful Assembly on Friday to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Well done to our pupils on their fantastic singing, dancing, reading and performing, it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Thank you to all those who joined us, it was great to see so many of the school community there.

Lá Fhéile Pádraig shona daoibh!

👏🏼⭐️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!
