Faith, Good Works and Striving for Excellence

Welcome to our school. St Patrick’s School educates children within a Catholic environment giving them the foundation and encouragement to reach their full spiritual, intellectual, physical and emotional potential throughout their lives.

St Patrick’s School is a Special Character, full primary school close to the Central Business District of Greymouth, which proudly offers a Catholic Education for boys and girls. Our school is a Roman Catholic School in which the whole school community, through the general school programme and in its Religious Instructions and Observances exercise the right to live and teach the values of Jesus Christ.

Vision

By being inspired to live and share the Catholic faith through education, learners are encouraged to reach their full potential, embrace integrity, respect themselves and others, become lifelong learners and will be prepared to be fully integrated members of our community. At St Patrick's we aspire through faith and excellence to be: just, resilient, enterprising, skilled communicators and team players.

Excellence - Make each day an encounter with Christ,
