‘Hope and History’ Battlefields Trip

June 22, 2018

This video encapsulates some of the most poignant and beautiful memories from the History Trip to the Battlefields in Belgium and France. This collaborative project was unique in that it included St. Paul’s, Newtownhamilton High School and St. Joseph’s College Ipswich. The students also produced a ceremony of song and poetry at the Island of Ireland Peace Park which was attended by the Irish Ambassador to Belgium Helena Nolan and Alan Campbell, Deputy Head of Mission at the British Embassy.

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.
