![]() Our school council is a forum for pupils to have their voices heard by senior teachers and the Principal of the school. Pupils can raise awareness of pupil concerns or bring new ideas to help make St Patrick's the best it can be. Pupils get the opportunity to work with others in all year groups to represent their peers and have real experience of being involved in the inner workings of a school. They are able to help guide and mould St Patrick's into the best vision of community and Catholic Care. |

![]() At St Patrick's there are lots of opportunities to get involved in extra-curricular sporting ativities. Examples of sports include football, Gaelic football, Hurling, Camogie, Basketball, Badminton, Life Saving, Netball and Cross-Country. We believe that being involved in sports helps to improve pupils self-esteem, build friendships outside the classroom and enhance their teamwork skills. |
