Welcome to St Patrick’s School, Nhill
Welcome to St Patrick’s School – a school where we live by our motto of ‘Nurturing Futures’ – academically, socially and spiritually.
At St Patrick’s School, we focus on Catholic values and, just as the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart did when they established our school in 1949, we continue to place Christ at the centre of all we do.
We are proud of our Josephite heritage and our connection to St Mary of the Cross MacKillop, Australia’s First Saint.
We welcome both Catholic and non-Catholic children, and we value the richness of cultures and religions within our school’s diverse and multicultural community.
Through academic and extra-curricular activities, values for life are promoted and taught to ensure our students strive for excellence in all areas and are encouraged to reach their full potential. Through the many opportunities available to our students, we promote academic, religious, cultural, physical and social development through our structured learning programs.
A strength of our small school is that every child here is known by all members of staff. Our experienced and dedicated staff are professional, motivated, always approachable and relate well with our children. They are committed to offering meaningful learning experiences to meet each child’s developmental needs.
If you are considering options for your child’s education, then I invite you to consider St Patrick’s School as a real and viable option.
Please feel free to contact me if you require further information about St Patrick’s School and how we can nurture your child’s future.
