The ‘Wrigley’s Bin it’ team delivered a workshop to our Year 8 students on Friday 21st September. The drama workshop focused on the subject of littering the environment and social responsibility. It aimed to influence and change students’ attitude and behaviour towards litter to make a long term positive change. Local representatives, Mr Conor Murphy MP and Miss Megan Fearon MLA were in attendance to observe the programme.

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.
