Success from St Paul’s students in Skillbuild competition!

February 26, 2020

Pupils from St Paul’s took part recently in the Skillbuild competition organised by SRC which involves pupils from various schools competing against each other in a range of categories.

Principal Mr Jarlath Burns and SPP Co-Ordinator Mr Martin Canavan congratulated pupils Conor O’Rourke (2nd place in Plastering), Louise McShane (2nd place in Beauty Make up), Rebecca Joyce (3rd place in Hairdressing), and Jamie Thompson (2nd place in Catering) on their excellent work this morning.

St Paul’s High School is a thriving, innovative educational community of almost 1500 students of all abilities, from children with learning difficulties in our Learning Support Centre to high calibre academic achievers in our AS, A2 and Applied Post-16 courses. All classrooms are equipped as standard with interactive whiteboards, and students and staff are encouraged to make the fullest use of technology for learning and teaching.

The school, which was established in 1966 with the aim of providing its pupils with a Christian education within the Catholic ethos, is situated on a modern campus in pleasant rural surrounding in the townland of Carrickbracken, County Armagh. St Paul’s High School was designated by the Department of Education as a Specialist College for Science in 2008, and the school was awarded the BECTA ICT Mark in 2009.
