Visit of local author Declan Carville
20th Jan 2026
Primary 4, 5 and 6 pupils were excited to welcome local author Declan Carville to St Mary’s on Monday. Drawing inspiration from local culture and Irish heritage, Mr Carville engaged the children, who were excited to recognise familiar places within his stories. The workshop offered plenty of opportunities to ask questions, share experiences and even pick up some “Top Tips for Writing.” It was an enjoyable and enriching session for everyone involved.
A big thank you to Mr Carville for his visit and to the Amma Centre Armagh for helping make the day possible.
