The Northern Lights put on a stunning display for people across Ireland last Friday night, 10th May 2024, with the aurora borealis visible in many parts of the country. Enfield was no exception. This photo, captured by Fergus Kelly, shows the Northern Lights over St Marys Primary School.
Members of our Student Council raised the Cineáltas flag for the school. The Cineáltas flag recognises the good work that our school is already doing, and will continue to do to, to promote kindness, respect, inclusion, diversity and wellbeing.
We celebrate World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) today in St Marys Primary School. WDSD is marked each year on March 21, beginning in 2007. The 21st day of March was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.
We will be wearing colourful socks in support of RockYourSocks campaign which is a fun & easy way to raise awareness for Down syndrome by wearing colourful and/or mismatched socks. It aims to arouse curiosity among our school community and remind us all that differences is beautiful too.
On this day, we encourage everyone to wear odd socks to show their support for the Down syndrome community.
Why socks?
Odd socks were chosen as a symbol for WDSD because chromosomes are shaped like socks, and those with Down syndrome have an extra chromosome.
Congratulations to our 6th Class pupils who received the Sacrament of Confirmation today (Friday, 8th March).

We hope you had a wonderful time with your families!
A big thank you to the 6th class teachers, Ms Daly, Ms Nelson and Mr Fitzpatrick, to Fr Patrick and Sinéad Griffin, and everyone involved in helping them prepare for their special day.
