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.

Congratulations to our wonderful Primary 7 pupils who received the Sacrament of Confirmation this evening. ✨ It was a very special and memorable celebration and we are so proud of each and every one of you on this important step in your faith journey. A sincere thank you to Fr Fitzpatrick for leading the service and to all of our staff for their support and dedication in helping the children prepare so well. Well done P7! 👏
Our P3/4 class had a fantastic day visiting the Ulster Museum in Belfast as part of our WAU topic! 🦖🦋✨ The children loved exploring the wide range of creatures on display and were especially excited to learn all about dinosaurs and fossils during an engaging workshop. They also took part in a fun and interactive storytelling session, where their imaginations really came to life! A brilliant day full of learning, discovery, and creativity. Well done P3/4! 👏
Well done to Daire and Shea Murphy, the Gallagher children, and our youngest helper, Darragh Garland, for representing our school at the Derrytrasna litter pick this weekend and helping to collect eight full bags of rubbish. A big shout‑out as well to all the community members who took part — amazing work by everyone. 🌍🚮👏🏼
Well done to our Stars of the Month for March 🤩⭐️💫
Well done to Cara and Evelyn who did an amazing job at representing our school at the Derrytrasna Playgroup event 💙💛
Happy St Patrick’s Day☘️💚 Our children had great fun celebrating Green Day. They all even had a go at some Irish dancing- lots of smiles, laughter and impressive footwork! 🎶
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Sarsfields Community Hall for their very kind donation to our school’s Eco Council following their recent Night of Reflection on Lough Neagh. Their generosity will help support our pupils as they continue their important work caring for our environment and promoting sustainability within our school environment. We are truly grateful for the continued support shown to our school 💚
