​We chose the best dressed Learner for the occasion in every class. Then we picked the overall well-dressed Learners in the whole school.  We had 6 winners. We also had a lovely concert with Irish Songs and Dances.  We truly honoured St Patrick who brought Christianity to Ireland.

According to legend, Saint Patrick used a shamrock to explain about God.  The shamrock, which looks like clover, has three leaves on each stem.  Saint Patrick told the people that the shamrock was like the idea of the Trinity – that in the one God there are three divine beings:  the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  The shamrock was sacred to the Druids, so Saint Patrick’s use of it in explaining the trinity was very wise.
