Welcome to St Patrickās Parish School. I trust your association with our school will be rewarding, fulfilling and enjoyable for your child and your family.
We aim to create a caring environment where each person is valued and experiences a sense of belonging. Faith in God is nurtured through prayer, liturgical celebrations and our Religious education program, all being an integral part of school life.
Our core task is education. Our staff devote their classroom time to the tasks of teaching and learning. Assessment and reporting are ongoing features of our curriculum.
We recognise that each child is unique and has a right to develop his/her individual talents, especially in developing meaningful relationships with God and with fellow human beings. St Patrickās is a Catholic school where parents and teachers strive together to reach each child’s full potential spiritually, academically, socially, emotionally and physically.
Our school needs the support of all parents. Each has his or her unique contribution to make: some special quality that can help build a community that cares for children. We hope that you will experience a sense of warmth and welcome and that there will be a rich sharing of ideas, talents and enthusiasm as together we go about our work of helping our children to learn and grow.
The following pages contain some information that I hope may assist you in settling into our school. Should you have any queries or wish to discuss matters concerning your childās education, please do not hesitate to contact your childās classroom teacher or me personally.
I look forward to the partnership we are going to share, of giving your child the best education possible. Take the learning journey with us.
