Christmas in St. Paul’s
December has already been a very busy month in St. Paul’s and we’re only ten days in! Have a look at the video below to get a taste of what it’s been like so far.
There will be more to follow with our Christmas shows.
Book Week & Anti-Bullying Week 2025
We recently celebrated Book Week in the school, which we also linked with Anti-Bullying Week for the launch of our new Bí Cinéalta Anti-Bullying Policy.
The week kicked off with lots of fun as pupils enjoyed browsing books at our Book Fair in the hall and also taking part in paired reading with older classes visiting younger classes. We had a shared read-aloud book which every class in the school read. The book “Say Something” encourages children to use their voice in many different ways – not only by talking, but by creating, helping, showing kindness, and standing up for others. Lots of classes did lovely art pictures to go with this.
We had guest speaker, Stella O’Malley, a psychotherapist, who delivered a powerful anti-bullying talk to pupils from 3rd to 6th class, encouraging kindness, resilience and speaking up for others. 5th class also performed the St. Paul’s Anti‑Bullying Anthem at assembly, filling the hall with positivity and pride.
A highlight of the week was our Anti-Bullying Poster Competition, where pupils created thoughtful and colourful posters promoting inclusion and friendship. Winners were delighted to select a book from our fair as their prize!
Thanks to our successful Scholastic Book Fair, our school has now earned €4000 worth of books, meaning lots of new books for the class libraries.
We had so much fun, learned so much, and most importantly, strengthened our commitment to being a caring, inclusive and bully-free school community.
A special thank you to our Parents’ Association who sold the books at the fair for the week. It is much appreciated.

Spooktacular Pumpkins by Third Class
The 3rd Class students created a wonderful collection of imaginative pumpkins for this year’s school competition. Their creativity and hardwork shone through in every design, from spooky faces to funny characters. These colourful pumpkins added a fantastic Halloween atmosphere throughout the school! Congratulations to our winners Bozo, Max and Liepa.
First V.I.P students in St. Paul’s!
Huge congratulations to our very first V.I.Ps (Very Important Pupil) in St. Paul’s. These children were randomly selected in their classes on Friday morning and presented with a certificate at Assembly with a special compliment from their teacher. The children will wear a V.I.P badge for the week to remind us all that they are this week’s V.I.Ps. We will celebrate their uniqueness this week and treat them with extra kindness. A new name will be selected next week for another group of V.I.Ps.
