Please support St. Patrick’s Primary School pupils who deserve an exciting new trim trail as a reward for all of their hard work and commitment during lockdown. Whilst the entire school community is adjusting to our new normal, we are keen to support the physical and emotional well-being of our pupils at this challenging time.

Our children are currently living through a global pandemic. The enormous scale of the crisis and the impact it is having is naturally causing a lot of fear, uncertainty and anxiety within our school community. Our children are living with social isolation and are dealing with major changes to school and family life which, understandably can have an impact on their mental health and wellbeing. The COVID-19 situation is particularly stressful for our children because it’s hard to predict how things will develop and circumstances are changing rapidly which can leave them feeling powerless.

We are enthusiastic about raising the funds to provide our pupils with this exciting outdoor learning opportunity because, although the situation we are adapting to might leave us feeling helpless, in reality there are still a lot of things we have power over in our lives, even during these trying times. Redirecting our positive energy towards this fundraising campaign will help us deal effectively with the current situation.

Subsequently the pupils have set themselves the challenge of walking 1000 miles in a week! Come rain or shine our pupils will be clocking up their steps from Monday 5th October and all donations to show your support to our amazing pupils would be gratefully received!
