• Pat Watterson & Sonia Kinsella Memorial GAA Tournament

  Fri 29 Apr 2022

  What a fabulous day of Gaelic we had today at Saul GAC for the annual Pat Watterson & Sonia Kinsella Memorial GAA Tournament with the Lecale Cluster of schools.

   

  Joined by our friends from St Patrick’s Saul, St Malachy’s Kilclief, St Joseph’s Killough, St Joseph’s Ballycruttle and St Joseph’s Strangford in the sunshine a great day was had by all.

   

  The level of teamwork, skill and enthusiasm on display by our girls and boys team was truly tremendous and we are very proud of you all. A special mention to our team captains Paige and Timothy who led from the front throughout.   

   

  Many thanks to Saul GAC and Mr McGrath from St Patrick’s Primary Saul for the organisation of the tournament and well done to both teams from St Patrick’s Saul who won their respective tournaments.

  

• Happy 10th birthday to the Daily Mile!

  Thu 28 Apr 2022

  Today we celebrated the Daily Mile’s 10^th Birthday. Our whole school enjoyed the Daily Mile today, as we do every day. Running or walking for 15 minutes each day provides a great opportunity for staff and pupils to connect, have fun and stay healthy.

   

  The benefits of the Daily Mile to the children in St Mary’s over the years has been amazing with physical, mental and social health all developed through our daily routine of getting outside into the fresh air.

   

  We look forward to many more years of the Daily Mile!
