Welcome

 

As the Principal of St Brigid’s Primary School, I extend to you a very warm welcome to our website.  Through this we aim to give you a flavour of some of the school events, visitors and experiences offered to our children.

St Brigid’s is a Catholic maintained, co-educational primary school, where the children are at the heart of every decision we make and everything we do. We value the great relationships that we have formed with our parents and acknowledge the dedicated work and commitment of the Staff, Governors and Parents Association.

We enjoy a warm, welcoming, inclusive atmosphere and it is this distinctive ethos which enables the children to flourish and succeed giving them the skills, attitudes and desire to achieve their full potential. 

I hope that you find our website informative and interesting and gain some insight into how we fulfil our school motto: 'Learning and Growing Together'.  If you would like to see our school and experience our ethos I would be delighted to meet with you.

Thank you for visiting our website.

Kind regards

Dolores Miller

Principal

Weekly Update 34 https://sway.cloud.microsoft/YAYd0PlGHSLW7icZ?ref=Link
This week, our P7 pupils were treated to a Confirmation Retreat, delivered by Sarah and Jay from YI Initiatives. The children enjoyed reflecting on the meaning of the seven sacraments, playing games and focussing on the sacrament of Confirmation to help the children understand the sacrament they are about to receive. We learned all about Pentecost, symbols of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We ended the day with a special prayer service in St. Brigid’s Church. Jay and Sarah were particularly impressed with the knowledge of the children and the reverence they showed throughout the day.
Great day of Gaelic football at St Mary’s Burren today! 🌟 Our boys and girls teams showed fantastic effort, skill, and sportsmanship as they took on Carrick, Meadow, and St Mary’s Banbridge. There were some brilliant scores, determined defending, and excellent teamwork on display across all matches. A big thank you to Mr Murdock for organising such a well-run and enjoyable day for everyone involved. It was also a real privilege to have special guest referee, county captain Odhrán Murdock, who inspired all the players with his presence. Well done to everyone who took part – we are so proud of you all! 💙🤍
