St. Patrick’s Secondary School, Castleisland has recently started a well-being initiative in the school which involves walking / running the distance from St. Patrick’s Secondary School to New York.
In the development of well-being indicators of being active, being connected and being resilient, the team at St. Pats and all involved in the initiative will attempt to walk/run 4,931 kilometres by St. Patrick’s Day 2025.
“As this is a whole school community initiative, we are looking to connect with St. Pats alumni to help us to achieve our goal. If you are a past student, parent or sibling of a past or present student we invite you to join our quest,” said teacher John Forrest.

“This activity also aims to promote fitness within the school and contribute to the overall well-being of students in the school.
