Principal’s Foreword
Dear Parents,
Education is an integral part of the day-to-day development of children which contributes to their personal, social, cultural and economic fulfilment in the future. The introduction of the revised primary curriculum has presented us with an opportunity for change and renewal in primary school. In St. Patrick’s we seek to nurture your child in all dimensions of his or her life – spiritual, moral, cognitive, imaginative, aesthetic, social and physical. We are living in a modern society in a constant state of renewal and we aim to provide quality learning experiences for your child that are engaging, enriching and enjoyable through a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum.
We value the relationship between home, school and community and look forward to working with you in the future. May I take this opportunity to welcome your family to our school community. The staff and I will do our best to ensure that it is a time of happiness and fulfilment for your child.
Pairic Clerkin. B.Ed. M.Ed. (Mgt.)
