Leavers' Day

20th Jun 2025

P7 Leavers' Day was a blast!

A huge thank you to all of our parents and families for your support over the past seven years. 

To our amazing staff—thank you for every lesson taught, every scraped knee patched up, and every encouraging word. You’ve helped shape these young people into the stars they are today. As with every family, there are also ups and downs, but we always look out for each other and are so proud of this great bunch!

P7s of 2025: this is not just the end of your time at St Patrick’s—it’s the beginning of something new and exciting. You are ready. Ready to take on new challenges, make new friends, and show the world what you’re made of. Remember how you dealt with the freezing cold water in Fermanagh – you moaned and groaned and swore you weren’t moving another step, but.. Remember when the Nifty Notebooks waste pile was growing quicker than the finished pile? But you got on with it. Remember when that book to get you over the next AR hurdle never seemed to end, but you finished it? That’s what will happen when you move on – there will be bigger, more complicated challenges ahead, but remember to stay calm, stay determined, talk to your parents and friends, and get on with it.

We will miss you dearly. But we know you’ll carry the spirit of St Patrick’s with you wherever you go.

Be kind. Be brave. Be brilliant.
