On behalf of the Governors, Staff and Pupils of St Patrick’s High School, I extend a very warm welcome to all the families who are considering St Patrick’s High School for their child’s post primary education.
St Patrick’s High School, as a Catholic and Lasallian school, places great emphasis on our Christian values of inclusion, of mutual respect, of truth and justice. Our pupils belong to a community where we are proud of our school and all it stands for. Here, pupils will always be treated with respect. Success, no matter how small, will always be celebrated.
Teaching and Learning is central to everything that we do at St Patrick’s. We offer a comprehensive curriculum and have a dedicated and progressive teaching staff, who are committed to developing a community of learners at our school. We also recognise the importance of providing our young people with leadership opportunities, and in St Patrick’s you will find a vibrant model of student leadership that actively promotes the pupil voice.
As a staff, we work to ensure pupils are encouraged, supported and challenged to fulfil their potential. We recognise that the transition from primary to post-primary education is a crucial period for both children and for their parents. We aim to make this journey one that is both exciting and as seamless as possible. Our transition model is quite unique in the extensive links that have been established over a number of years with our partner primary schools. It is our privilege to work with these schools, and for the children and young people of this community.
In St Patrick’s High School, you will find a supportive and caring pastoral system where learning will be nurtured and developed. Each pupil within the community of St Patrick’s is in the care of a Form Teacher who is guided by their Year Head. You will find our staff are committed, caring and professional.
In St. Patrick’s High School we measure success in many ways, in the large number of our students who enter university or pursue vocational or occupational courses, along with the rich development of skills and qualities pupils acquire throughout their time with us.
I hope you enjoy browsing our school prospectus, which will give you an insight and flavour into some of the many wonderful and exciting opportunities that await you, our prospective pupils, if you choose to study at St Patrick’s High School.
