Confirmation 2016

Pupils from 6th class made their Confirmation on May 12th 2016, in St. Michael’s Church, Gorey. After months of preparation the boys were very excited that their special day had finally arrived. The sun shone and the boys made their families and teachers very proud.

All Together Now Pilot Project

Picture

Both 5th and 6th Classes were invited to pilot a new Educational Awareness Programme on Homophobic and Transphobic Bullying in Primary Schools.

This project is funded by the Department of Education and Skills and is a partnership between BeLonG To Youth Services and St. Patrick’s College. It is supported by an Advisory Group whose membership includes: INTO; INTO-LGBT Teachers’ Group; IPPN; National Parents’ Council; CPSMA; PDST, Educate Together; Community National Schools-DDL; Church of Ireland – Board of Education; GLEN; TENI.

The classes learned about human rights and equality, bullying and responding to bullying. They learned, through group work and discussions, that we should treat each others equally and with respect.

Here are a couple of photos of our class during the lessons:
