20th Jun 2025

It’s been a week of celebration and recognition at St. Mary’s as we honoured our Stars of the Week—with a very special mention for all of Primary 7, who received their awards in recognition of seven amazing years at our school. What a journey it has been!

We also celebrated a wide range of achievements with certificates and prizes handed out during our final assemblies:

Accelerated Reading 100% Raffle – Names were drawn from our special cup for those who scored 100% this year.

Most Words Read – An impressive milestone for some of our keenest readers.

Reading Eggs and Numeracy Awards – Recognising progress and effort across the board.

Mathletics Certificates – Gold, Platinum, Emerald and Diamond winners celebrated for their brilliant work.

 Epic Awards – Celebrating engagement with reading in a fun and interactive way.

And of course, we crowned our Overall Winners in Each Year Group as well as two standout pupils who were named “Legend” and “Super Legend” for their outstanding efforts this year.

 Top Certificate-Earning Classes:

  • 3rd Place: Miss Doherty’s P3/4
