After School Clubs

We have lots of After School and lunchtime clubs at St Patrick’s.

In Term 3 we have had Football, Athletics, Code Club with New Stevenston Primary, Netball, Fundamentals, Film Club, Garage Band/I Movie Club and during Advent and Lent, a lunchtime Prayer Group. These clubs have been taken by NLC Coaches as well as staff and students.

Next term we hope to add a few more clubs as well as some of your favourites. Thank you to all pupils who have posted their ideas on the ‘Pupil Voice’ slips. We do listen to you. You asked for Netball and we got a Netball Coach. You wanted Computing and we had a fantastic I Movie Club and pupils got to take lots of photographs and footage during Health Week.

Pupils enjoyed composing music using Garage Band programme

Russell and the Athletics Club.

Pupils enjoyed using collage materials to create their puppets.

Pupils enjoyed practising their football skills.

Pupils had fun throwing and catching balloons at one of their stations in Fundamentals.

WOW Badge Competition

Thank you and well done to all the pupils who entered the WOW badge competition. The theme this year was ‘My Neighbourhood’. Our JRSO team had a difficult job last week deciding on the three entries that would be sent. Good Luck.

Keep up walking to school and encouraging others in your family to walk with you.

Easter Disco

The children had a fabulous evening dancing the night away. A huge big thank you to all of the parents who came along to make the night a success. The money raised from events such as this help to reduce the cost of school outings and allows us to purchase materials which make learning more meaningful and fun.

Thank you once again for your support.

Thursday 17th March

Children will celebrate the feast of St. Patrick by attending 9:30 Mass on Thursday morning. They will discuss how Patrick made a lasting impression on the people of Ireland, and how they have never forgotten him.

Reflection for the feast of St. Patrick:

What kind of impression do you make on those around you?
