Christmas Show Week – A Wonderful Celebration!

12th Dec 2025

Our Christmas Show week came to a spectacular close on Friday afternoon with the magnificent Primary 1 pupils performing Shine Star Shine in front of a packed hall. Over the course of three days, we were delighted to welcome more than 500 audience members into the school hall to enjoy performances from all of our children. While it's lovely to welcome so many in the afternoons, we really love the dress rehearsals when the whole school get to see each other perform. Siblings get to see each other with their friends and it is a treat for us to see their reactions.

The festivities began with P4 & P5, who wowed us with The Stars Come Out for Christmas. Their singing and dancing set an incredible standard that had everyone amazed. Next up, P2 & P3 raised the bar even higher with their vibrant performance of Santa’s Setbacks. Their colourful costumes and energy made it truly unforgettable – definitely better than a six or seven out of ten (IYKYK)! Finally, our Primary 1 stars shone brightly in their very first show on the St Patrick’s stage, and they were simply outstanding.

A huge thank you to all our families for your amazing support – helping children learn lines, practice songs, and prepare costumes. Thanks also to our dedicated staff for ensuring every child felt confident and proud under the bright lights. No mean feat amidst soaring temperatures, coughs and sneezes!

But most of all, congratulations to our wonderful children. You are a credit to your families and to our St Patrick’s community – we are so proud of each and every one of you!

We now look forward to rounding off the festive season next Friday in the church, with P6 & P7 leading the way.
