Our Community

We are a Catholic Primary School, but we are not exclusively for Catholics. At St Patrick’s, we welcome both Catholic and non-Catholic children, and we value the richness of cultures and religions within our school community.

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 at St Patrick’s School. The St Patrick’s students, staff, parents and wider school community are responsible for the culture we create while maintaining the traditions and charisms of our Josephite history.

At St Patrick’s, we hold at our core the impact each person has on other members of our community. Instilling this way of thinking in our students remains our focus and is enhanced by quality relationships and open communication that creates an environment of wellbeing. Through our beliefs and traditions, we aim to develop the whole person, integrating our faith and culture.

We value the pivotal role that parents play in their children’s education, and it is imperative that we work together with families in the education process. Parents continue to be the first educators of their children and there is a strong partnership between home and staff as we work together in this privileged task through mutually supportive relationships.
