Day 1 of our Summer Camp Adventures recap! We had so much fun in the sun today☀️☀️☀️Here’s to the start of a brilliant week at St. Patrick’s. 🎒🍦🏓🪀☀️

2nd Class had so many adventures this year with Ms. Farren. Check them out!! ❤️

And last, but very not least, it was an emotional goodbye to our amazing 6th Class girls. Every teacher that has taught this class have said they were an absolute pleasure to teach. They have been such good role models to our younger students, and will be sorely missed. This was evident in the amount of tears that were shed today!! We wish them the very best in Secondary School, and we hope to see them around Ringsend. They got a well deserved guard of honour from the whole school as they left for their final time. #6thclass #endofanera #newchapter #wewillmissyou ❤️

We had our final assembly of the year today! We heard news from each class from the month of June. We had lots of birthdays to celebrate and we sang Happy Birthday to everyone who celebrates their birthday in June, July and August! We said a sad goodbye to Ms. Sheehan who has had a fantastic year in our school, and achieved great things with her Green Committee. Ms. Brooks thanked all of our amazing SNAs and teachers for working so hard this year. Mrs. Ramsay thanked Ms Brooks for making our school such a warm and friendly place to work. Our football team were congratulated once again, for doing us all so proud this year. We wish all of our families and everyone in our local community a lovely summer holiday, and we look forward to welcoming you back at the end of August! #Ringsend #ourschool #dreamteam ❤️

It didn’t stop at the ice creams today! Junior Infants enjoyed a Teddy Bear’s picnic in the park. First class had a pyjama and popcorn party, and fourth class had a pizza party!! Some serious outfit planning must have also been co-ordinated last night, as we had a dynamic duo in pink strutting their stuff in school corridors today!! 🩷 #Ringsend #summerfun #ourgirls

Our Parent’s Association treated every girl in the school to a delicious icecream today!! Their smiles say it all ❤️ #Ringsend #ourgirls #summerfun 🫶🏼

Today was our annual Teachers & SNAs versus 6th Class girls soccer match…and it was as competitive as ever!! The girls were expertly managed by Mrs Ramsay. There were a few new faces on the Teachers & SNAs team, who very bravely donned the jersey, and stepped on to a pitch for the first time (…in their lives!!) Thankfully reliable @rebecca.mcloughlin arrived to play, on her day off! She almost executed a bicycle kick which wowed us all. Two former students, Mia Lily and Ashley very kindly came to ref the match and play for the Teachers & SNAs Team. It was a tense match, with goals going in on both ends of the pitch. Mr Feeney was awarded a questionable penalty on the final whistle of the game, which hit the post, to the delight of the 6th Class girls. They won the game 5-4, and did it in style. A huge thanks to everyone for coming to support. A great day was had by all! 💙💛💚 #summerfun #footballfrenzy
