Pupils from Rathore School, striking a pose in their recent Drama class in preparation for their upcoming play at St Paul’s High School.

Rathore School pupils had great fun in St Paul’s recently when they popped in for a costume fitting for their upcoming play.

We’re looking forward to their production of ‘Beauty and the Beast’. You may be able to spot the characters present in the picture above which include: Belle, the Beast, Gaston, Gaston’s Accomplice, the ugly sisters, The woodcutter and Lumiere.

The play will begin with rehearsals within the next few weeks as part of the ongoing collaboration between St Paul’s High School and Rathore School.

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.
