Fr. M. Sheehan

‘Bearnageeha House‘ St. Patricks College‚ Belfast.

Central to our educational philosophy is the fundamental belief that children of all abilities and all social classes can be - and should be - educated together and each achieve the full extent of his academic potential.

I am proud to lead a most competent, professional and hardworking staff providing the highest academic standards with strict but fair discipline underpinned by a caring and pro-active pastoral dynamic.

In recent years our pupil enrolment has grown from 400 to almost 800. This indicator of community confidence in the College is mirrored by our gratitude to the parents of North Belfast for their high level of empathy and support for us in the day to day schooling of all our boys.

In every aspect of their educational growth academic, social, moral, physical and sporting we see our lads and, more importantly, they seem themselves as second to none.!

We are mindful of the great tradition of St. Patrick's, Bearnageeha. This we intend to maintain and even surpass! I bid special welcome to past pupils who "click-on" Do get in touch.

As you peruse this website you will, I trust, get a feel for what the College is about in these early years of the millennium.

I sincerely hope the interaction between the College website and you will be two-way. That's the way we would want it to be as we, Governors and staff serve the great community of North Belfast.
