We love poetry at St Paul’s! We love it so much that we stopped our normal schedule on National Poetry Day to spend an hour reciting our favourite poems to each other.
Watch our special highlights video below. Thanks to all our fantastic students and staff who shared their favourite lines of poetry – and to Mrs Morgan, our School Librarian who co-ordinated the celebrations.
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.

Well done Michelle on organising a lovely event. Paul, your poem in Irish was lovely, Maith Thú. Jessica, it was lovely to see 896 represented, not an easy task in a new school. Congratulations to all involved.
