Louise was elected Occupational Studies Student of the year by the Southern Regional College for the academic year 2011-2012.

On top of this award, Louise was also St Paul’s pupil of the year in Occupational Studies as well as obtaining the highest marks in her four areas of study over her two years in the Southern Regional College.

This without doubt is a truly fantastic achievement.

Louise is now following a child care course with the Link Works training organisation in Newry. We wish her all the best for the future.

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.
