Meet the Principal

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the website of St. Patrick’s Primary School, better known to our neighbours as St. Pat’s. St. Pat’s caters for 231 pupils ranging in age from 4 to 12 who are enrolled across 11 classrooms.

St. Pat’s is a vibrant, inclusive and multi-cultural community which embraces all creeds, religions and backgrounds while promoting our Patrician ethos.

St. Pat’s is bursting with all kinds of curricular and extra-curricular activities. Through a safe, warm and nurturing environment, we strive to unearth and nurture the talents and gifts of each individual child. I have been teaching in a variety of educational settings since 2001. I have taught in St. Pat’s since 2005 as a class teacher, support teacher and now as principal.

I have been a part of the education of thousands of children passing through our doors and I have witnessed the many achievements and successes of our children first hand and I am proud of every single child who has walked through our gates. In keeping with the welcoming atmosphere of our school, please enjoy browsing through our website to get a greater insight into the many activities in which our pupils participate.

Is mise le meas, Marian Barrett
