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.

What a result! We are so proud of the whole squad! Up the Hoops! 🟢⚪️
Well done to our school football team! 🎉⚽ A huge congratulations to our fantastic team who reached the Shield Final in the St Ronan’s Tournament! This is a brilliant achievement, with our players once again punching above their weight and defeating much bigger schools on their way to the final. Both the boys and girls showed great skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout the day — we’re incredibly proud of you all! 👏👏
🐾As part of their topic on Pets, Primary 2/3 had a very special visitor – vet Clare McGeown! 🩺🐶🐱 Clare gave the children a fantastic insight into her role as a vet and how she helps care for animals. The class loved learning about all the different ways vets look after pets and keep them healthy. The children had the opportunity to use real vet equipment to treat their own sick toy animals! 🧸❤️ It was a brilliant, fun-filled learning experience – thank you so much, Clare!
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.
