Many thanks to Mrs Mary Quinn CBE for delivering a masterclass on interview skills to our Year 13 students. With her extensive experience in conducting interviews, she provided valuable insights that will undoubtedly support our students as they prepare for their mock interviews in June and beyond. We are grateful for her generosity in sharing her expertise and for playing a vital role in guiding our students toward future success.

Everyone at St. Patrick’s College is delighted to wish a very happy 40th birthday to our much-loved colleague and friend, Tony Lunny.

Tony has been a cherished part of our school community for many years — first as a pupil, and now as a valued member of staff, supporting both the caretaking and office teams. His warmth, energy, and humour brighten every corner of our school.

Outside of school, Tony is also a proud Special Olympics athlete, with a number of impressive achievements to his name — something we’re all incredibly proud of.

Whether he’s helping out, deep in a book at lunchtime, or entertaining us with stories about his many hobbies and interests, Tony brings something truly special to our school every single day.

Happy Birthday, Tony — here’s to you and all the joy you bring! ❤️

Year 11 and 12 GCSE DA and SA Science results can be collected from the school office from 9 am tomorrow morning. Good luck to everyone!
