Open Day 2015

January 23, 2015

Open Day for prospective pupils and their parents, families and friends was held in St Paul’s on Saturday 17 January. A huge crowd spent the day visiting the various departments in the school and sampling what is on offer in the school.

Principal, Mr Jarlath Burns, welcomed the visitors to the school and encouraged them to visit as many different classrooms as possible to get a full flavour of what life in the busy St Paul’s is like.

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.
