Welcome to St.Patrick's, Ballynahinch |
|
 St. Patrick’s is a Catholic Maintained Primary School situated just off the Main Street in Ballynahinch. Our existing school was built in 1958 to replace an old school (1864) on the site. In l981 a major extension was added to give a spacious, modern and well-equipped school.In 2000 a state of the art Nursery Unit known as Magheradroll Nursery Unit was completed to accommodate 52 part time nursery aged children from both communities.
The present enrolment is 255 which includes 52 part time nursery children and there are eleven full time teaching staff. Our facilities include a modern computer suite where children from P1 to P7 have regular timetabled access to our Dell computers in class units. Recently inter-active whiteboards were installed in all mainstream classrooms. We, in St. Patrick’s Primary School, aim to create a school in which each child will feel valued, will come to realise his/her full potential and grow in the Christian faith. We aim to create an atmosphere of tolerance and respect for all, where everyone, irrespective of ability, will realise that he/she has a valuable contribution to make. |

GAA 125 Day at St Patrick's |
St Patrick’s PS Ballynahinch had a super 125 GAA day. The children began the day wearing county jerseys. P1 to P4 had a demonstration of hurling/camogie from CJ McGourty and Shauneen McGourty from Antrim. They then went outside with older classes and were taught Gaelic skills from a child in an older class.
Primary 7 children had a hurling/Camogie session in the school hall with the two McGourtys.
Between break and lunch a Gaelic football tournament took place refereed by the McGourtys. During this tournament we had a visit from Jamie O’Reilly and Gavin Joyce (both on the Down U21 team which played in the All Ireland final on Monday 4th May). They played a short game of Gaelic football. DOWN V ANTRIM
In the afternoon, presentations were made, by all of our guests, to the winning team and the runners up of the tournament. The winners of the individual art competitions which were on-going all week were also presented. Each winner received a Down jersey and a certificate.

Sincere thanks to our outstanding Parents' Support Group who excelled themselves once again in organising and running a highly successful 'Fun Day' on Saturday 22nd September 2007 in St. Patrick's Primary School. The huge success of this event was due to the excellent planning and organisational skills of our hard working Parent' Support Group who left no stone unturned in planning highly enjoyable events and also in successfully acquiring sponsorship. We would like to thank the sponsors for their generosity. The event was further enhanced by beautiful weather which helped to draw a very large crowd. We deeply appreciate the support of all those who attended on the day, the parents, children and extended family members, our past pupils, friends of the school and members of the local and wider community and also staff members both teaching and non-teaching. A huge thanks also to our excellent band of volunteers who gave so generously of their time in erecting bunting, manning the various activities thus ensuring that there was something for everyone. Some of the funds raised will go towards purchasing extra computers for our computer suite which is being upgraded in early November and we will also enhance mathematical resources in all clasrooms. Photos of the event will be posted on the site in the near future.
