RESPECT As we begin our school year, it is important that we set out our standards for respect from the beginning. Simple things like a smile, good eye contact or a “hello” can make a huge difference when forming relationships with new friends and helping others. Small gestures towards others show that you value them and will help to build respect. In the month of September we will be focusing on the Christian value - RESPECT. This is also one of our Key School values. As a whole school community, we will be discussing what RESPECT means and what it should look like within each classroom. We will be looking at: How we show respect for each other and adults in the school community. How children are encouraged to value and respect their own and other people’s belongings. How children are encouraged to show tolerance by accepting feelings, habits or beliefs, racial or ethnic origins that are different from their own. What patience, kindness and good manners should look like in our classroom.   [Open Document] | ☕ Coffee Morning ☕ - Friends Of Mullinahoe - Coffee Morning on Sunday 28th of September from 12.00 - 2.00 pm in the Ardboe Community Centre.

🌟 Welcome Back to a New School Year 🌟

30th Aug 2025

🌟 Welcome Back to Saint Patrick’s! 🌟

At Saint Patrick’s, we are very excited to welcome the children back after the summer holidays and look forward to another wonderful year of learning together.

We know that while many children are excited to return, some may feel a little nervous or anxious. Signs that a child may be feeling nervous can include:

  • 😴 Difficulty sleeping the night before school.
  • 🤒 Complaining of stomach aches or feeling unwell.
  • 😟 Showing reluctance to leave home in the morning.

Our staff are very aware that some children may feel this way and will be on hand to offer reassurance and support.

By working together – child, home, and school – we can ensure that every child feels cared for and supported as they settle back into school life.
