Founded in 1949, St Patrick's National School is located in the country village of Whitechurch, approximately 6 miles from Cork City. The school has a long history and we are very proud particularly of our academic and sporting history. We hope you enjoy our website, which is designed to communicate and inform pupils,
parents and the wider school community.
The Board of Management and staff wish to extend our deepest sympathy to the O Connell family on the untimely death of their daughter and sister, Máiréad.
Máiréad is a past pupil of our school and her mother Ann, a recently retired teacher from our school.

Congratulations to School Quiz Teams
Our school quiz teams have taken part in many quizes during the year. In the Credit Union quiz, we had four teams in two categories. After a challenging tie breaker, the under 12 team came 3rd. The under 13 category quiz teams took 1st and 6th place. We are busy preparing for the next round in Cork and the RDS Dublin. Earlier in the year, all teams preformed exceptionnally well in the Kerrypike quiz. On Thursday February 9th, the U13 team won the Lisgoold quiz and the U12 team took 3rd place. Well done to all pupils involved. (Liam Ring)
