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. We will be having a special graduation ceremony when the opportunity arises. Go-
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!
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.

Basketball
This morning Mr Horgan came into our class room and said that we were being picked for basketball and I was picked! I was extremely happy and excited. I love basketball and my favorite team is Boston Celtics and my favourite player has to be Kyrie Irving. I went and practised it in yard with my friends and I practised at home too. The next day I went to school and we got the bus to Saint Aidan’s.
Their basketball hall was really big and their hoops were really high too and we got free basketballs which was cool, then we did warm up drills and we played king of the ring. If you don’t know what that is it’s when you have to knock the other players ball out of the ring and whoever wins get sweets. We had two games and we had barely any space. Unfortunately, I did not win any games. Then we played miss chair, that’s when if you miss the ball you have to sit in a chair and if the person who’s shooting scores you’re out, but if they miss they sit in the chair then so on, so on but it was fun then we had a match after all the drills and the games. We had four teams and my team played two matches and we won one. We lost the other game but overall it was super fun and I had a great time and I would like to go back there some day to do the same thing.
Basketball is excellent for fitness, fun and ball-
