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.

Excitement is building in school for the big match this weekend! 💚 We celebrated with a Green Day to show our support for the Sarsfields’ Senior Team! Let’s get as many pupils, families, and supporters as possible to the Athletic Grounds on Sunday to cheer them on. Sarsfields Abú! 💚🏐
👏Our P7 children visited the WW2 Museum in Belfast as part of their World Around Us topic. 🪖 They learned so much about life during the war and had a fantastic time exploring the exhibits!
Thank you to Dwyer McKerr from the Arts Council and Portadown Wellness Centre for coming in to make Autumn Wreaths with our P7s today! 🍂 Everyone had a wonderful time getting creative and celebrating the season.
This week our class had a magical visit from none other than wee Princess Tutu! She whisked the children back in time, sharing stories and traditions from life in Ancient Egypt. With her help, the children got a real taste of what it was like to live in those times exploring customs, clothing, and daily routines. It was a brilliant hands-on experience that made history feel alive.
Today the kids got stuck into a brilliant STEM challenge—building the biggest pyramid they could using their science, tech, engineering, and maths skills. There were wobbles, giggles, and loads of teamwork as they tested out ideas and cheered each other on. Even if the pyramids didn’t quite stay standing, the fun definitely did! Best part? Munching on marshmallows at the end—well deserved. Just look at these proud smiles!
⭐️ Well done to our Stars of the Month for September ⭐️
