‘Amazing the Space’ celebrate International Day of Peace

September 28, 2016

On Wednesday 21 September, ‘Amazing the Space’, a youth led peace building initiative brought over three thousand five hundred young people together at the Eikon Exhibition Centre, to celebrate the International Day of Peace.

Peace Pledges, written by young people from across Northern Ireland, played a central role in the event, as did performances of music, song and dance.

St Paul’s was a satellite venue for the Newry / South Armagh region. Different schools came together at St Paul’s and connected online via live streaming to the main event at the Eikon Exhibition Centre.

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.
