What is St. Catherine’s ?

St. Catherine’s is an all girls boarding school located near the nephin beg mountain range in county mayo.

The school is notorious for its good reputation through high academic and athletic performances shown through its pupils.

St. Catherine’s is a school which aims to nurture each pupils academic potential and success to achieve great things in life.

the school offers a wide range of activities for its pupils to participate in to enrich creativity, intellectualism and athleticism such as the theatre programme, chess club and hockey team.

What’s the history of St. Catherine’s?

Before the building was converted into a boarding school it used to be a manor, belonging to the Greenwood family.

Greenwood manor was built sometime in the 19th century for the wealthy Conor and Elizabeth Greenwood.

The manor was designed by architect Collin Fitzpatrick a good friend of Mr.Greenwood.

It took seven years to build starting in Spring of 1817 and finishing in Winter of 1824, people working on it had interesting experiences from working on the sight ranging from being annoyed from being overworked to being regretful with an unnamed builder stating that “he held regret over his involvement with the manor”

After the manor was finished in November of 1824 The builders, furnishers and carpenters who worked on it remained mostly silent about their experiences afterwards choosing not to elaborate much on their time creating greenwood. there have been many conspiracy theories about what could have happened to them in greenwood ranging from ghostly appearances to the Greenwood’s themselves buying the labourers silence. a majority of the documentation of the creation of greenwood has either been lost to time or laying somewhere in the unknown waiting.

Greenwood manor remained in the Greenwood family for many generations afterward being passed down from heir to heir until 1913 where Jane Greenwood had the idea to convert the manor into a school for the opportunity of educating young women.

The conversion took seven years and by 1920 Greenwood manor now renamed St. Catherine’s had its first batch of pupils which turned out to be a massive success.

Opinions on the school (uncut edition)

“In my personal opinion I view St. Catherine’s as like a second home I feel like myself and the other girls here view each other as a found family. there’s a lot of friendliness and close knit bonds between the pupils here I honestly couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else”

-Erin Walsh, 6th year pupil and head girl of the school.

“I don’t agree with what Erin says I think our school is this well safe place.. I enjoy the serenity from the the remote location of it it gives me alot of time to think and all and oh am I trailing off? Molly don’t write that part down please.

I think the school offers alot of opportunities for education and our future there’s high standards for us set by the people who came before us and it’s inspiring in a way …

-Freya Forest,6th year pupil and deputy head girl of the school.

“Oh are you talking to me? wait you are wait don’t write that down shit. uh the school has a nice garden I guess”

-Valerie Whalen, 4th year pupil and total stoner

“Aside from the strictness and the like pressure from exams and stuff it’s a pretty okay place to spend a majority of your year in, its not as bad though rather here then stuck at home if you know what I mean, right Molly? Molly? Mols shit I’m like okay don’t worry about me let’s continue with this stupid interview. there’s still the laughter craic and overall teenage stupidity here I don’t think I’m really missing out on much here”
