St Patricks Day 2026

St Patrick’s Day parade this year was something to cherish with so many colourful and vibrant entries.

The theme for this year’s St Patricks parade celebrated “Fun and Music through the ages”.

As part of our parade entry, the pupils made a huge effort and dressed up as people from the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Our pupils wore traditional clothing, dressed as Irish dancers and as GAA players. As well as this, our pupils learned a dance routine to the song “Tóg amach mé” . It was an amazing spectacle and huge thanks must go to Miss Ambrose for her help with the routine and of course, our fantastic pupils who performed it so well on the day.

Well done to all pupils and staff who made this such a special day.
