Tayto visit for 12/73!

November 20, 2013

Pupils from 12/73 recently travelled to Tandragee to visit the famous Tayto Castle. The pupils visited the factory as part of their Learning for Life & Work course with regard to health and safety.

They were given a comprehensive tour of the factory by one of the tour guides and learned a great deal from their experience.

The pupils were able to see the potatoes being placed in a large warehouse, being cleaned, peeled, sliced, flavoured and then placed in an oven to be cooked for three minutes.

Everyone enjoyed their visit and learned a great deal.

Of course everyone was able to take a “goodie bag” with them when they were leaving.

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.
