Welcome

Welcome to St. Mary's Primary School Website.

I am delighted to introduce you to our new informative website and to invite you to discover more about life in St. Mary's Primary School.

St Mary's is situated in the townland of Derrytrasna, on the southern shore of Lough Neagh.

In our school we are committed to providing an excellent all round education for every child entrusted to our care. We aim to provide a caring school environment where each individual child is encouraged to respect themselves, others in the school community and the wider community.

I hope you enjoy visiting the different pages of our website and seeing the opportunities available to our children.

As part of Catholic Schools Week, Miss Lennon’s Primary 2 and 3 class have been spending time reflecting on their grandparents. 💐 We have been talking about why grandparents are so special and the many ways they teach us to live like Jesus — through love, kindness, faith and care for others. A beautiful reminder of the role they play in our lives and our faith journey. ✝️💛
As part of Catholic Schools Week, some of our P7 pupils had the privilege of visiting Newry Cathedral to attend a beautiful celebratory prayer service. Guided by this year’s theme, “Called to Holiness,” the children took time to reflect, pray, sing and grow together in faith. A special and memorable experience for all involved. 🙏✨
