About
St Patrick’s G.N.S., Hollypark is a vibrant primary school serving the Dublin 18 community. With roughly 500 pupils across 20 mainstream classes and a dedicated team of special‑education teachers, the school offers a warm, caring environment that encourages friendship and personal growth. The curriculum is enriched by specialist provision, including physical‑education teachers, French instruction from third to sixth class, and a violin teacher for younger pupils. A broad range of after‑school clubs and extracurricular activities further supports the development of pupils’ interests and talents. The school places a strong emphasis on smooth transitions for new entrants, providing a two‑week shortened timetable for Junior Infants, an Independence Day where infants walk to class unaided, and a welcoming coffee session for parents. Regular events such as CyberSafe workshops, PA Ladies Lunches, movie nights and cultural celebrations like Féile na dTeangacha create a lively community spirit. Modern facilities and a supportive culture aim to nurture each child’s full potential and foster a lifelong love of learning.
