Sports Day 2026 09.06.2026

9th Jun 2026

What a day!

While the weather certainly kept us on our toes, we were delighted to be able to go ahead with Sports Day by making use of the 3G pitch whenever conditions allowed.

A huge well done to all our pupils, who showed fantastic enthusiasm, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the day. We are so proud of every child who took part and gave their best effort. The House Team winner, will take place soon. 

A sincere thank you to the students from St Patrick’s Dungiven and St Patrick’s Maghera who helped out throughout the day. Your support was greatly appreciated and helped make the event run so smoothly.

A special thank you to Lynch’s Spar for kindly providing essentials, including water and bananas, for our Sports Day. Your support was greatly appreciated and helped keep everyone refreshed throughout the day. 

We would also like to extend a huge thank you to Andy’s Ices for providing ice creams for the children and staff. They were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone and were the perfect treat after a busy day of activities!

Despite the unpredictable weather, there were plenty of smiles, laughter, and memorable moments. Thank you to everyone who helped make Sports Day such a success!
