As another fantastic school year comes to an end...

29th Jun 2026

As another fantastic school year comes to an end, I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has made a significant contribution to the school community. To our incredible teachers, CAs, Support Staff, and  Governors – thank you for your dedication, care, and commitment to helping every child learn, grow, and thrive.
To our parish  and wider community thank you for your continued support. To our wonderful pupils – thank you for your enthusiasm, resilience, kindness, and all the amazing memories you’ve created this year. We are so proud of each and every one of you. We wish our P7 pupils all the best for their new journeys in post-primary, as we prepare to welcome our new P1s. To our parents and care givers, – thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and partnership throughout the year. Special mention to our amazing PTA team together, we’ve achieved so many beneficial and inspiring memories for the school community. Thank you to Rebecca Shannon for being a great PTA chair over the past three years. 

We extend our best wishes to Miss Burke, Miss Tweedie and Mrs Hoy ,as they move on from St.Patricks to new adventures... and finally...we save our biggest hugs for Mrs Sheila O'Reilly, who will leave St.Patricks after an incredible 26 years service to the pupils, parish and community, indeed some of her first pupils are now parents bringing their own kids to school (making Sheila's day !!!) St.Patricks loss is most definitely St.Kevin's PS gain. Indeed ...she has hardly aged at all ( as you can see)!!!!!Best wishes and Good Luck, Sheila !

We wish everyone a happy, relaxing, and well-deserved summer break. Make wonderful memories, have lots of fun, take care of one another, and most importantly, stay safe. We look forward to welcoming you all back for another exciting school year! Have a fantastic summer!
