To All Our Graduating Boys and Parents who finish their time in St. Patrick's B.N.S. this Wednesday:
A special note of congratulations and thanks to our graduation classes of 2020. For the past 6 years( 7 for some), because of these 43 young men's dedication, talents, personalities, successes and challenges; St. Patrick's B.N.S. has been made even more a special place to learn, work and grow for so many of these boys, their parents and their teachers. The Parents Group has grown from strength to strength and been very well supported by these parents. Thank you for your time and care. Ms. Murphy, Mr. Mullins and the boys teachers are preparing a Video Graduation this Tuesday for each class and maybe a little surprise on Wednesday.
Mr. Mullins and Mr. M. O' Mahony put their vip contacts and video editing skills to good use to create the heartfelt, memorable and special videos above for our Graduation Class of 2020. We hope you enjoy them!
We will be having a special graduation ceremony when the opportunity arises.
But for now, Boys and Parents: We are so proud of each and everyone one of you. Well done all!
Boys you have so many special memories and learning from St. Patrick's to help you on the road ahead. We know that your St. Patrick's foundation offers you so much potential in your lifelong learning journey.

Mr. Walsh's 4th Class
Dear parents and boys.
This is it…the last fortnight and it will be summertime! And how lucky are we to live in the biggest county in Ireland! If you get a chance be sure to see as much of it as possible. I know I will be sunning myself in Youghal and Garryvoe and going for walks at the spectacular Lough Hyne and in wonderful Doneraille Park. My summer would not be complete without a visit to charming Kinsale, beautiful Bantry Bay or picturesque Bere Island. A quick google search and you will be spoilt for choices!
I have loved teaching 4th class this year! More so when we were in the classroom, but everyone has done a sensational job of staying positive, happy, and healthy. Well done you! We will go again in September! I will be looking to make upgrades to the classroom bell or look for a way to install a mute button, so you all have that to look forward to!!
Thank you to everyone who returned books. With all of us working together, it will make the transition into next year much smoother.
PDFs of work can be found on Google Classroom or the books can be found on the CJ Fallon or Folens website. However, for the last week (22nd-
