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,

Kia ora everyone,

The wonderful team at the St Vincent de Paul Shop are currently in need of good quality clean clothing donations for their store.

If you have any clothes that are no longer needed and are in good condition, we would be very grateful if you could consider donating them. Your generosity helps support individuals and families in our local community.

Donations can be dropped off at school or taken directly to the St Vincent de Paul Shop on Mackay Street (next to Ellery's and Carpet Court).

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.

Ngā mihi,

HELP NEEDED for the Year 5 - 8 Touch Festival - Tuesday 17th of November

9 Nov 2026

We have a fantastic number of students interested in playing touch next week. Unfortunately we have only one offer of transport, resulting in 22 students needing transport to and from the event. We also need two more coaches to help support the teams to make this happen for our students. If you are available to help in any way please email lisa@stpatricksgm.school.nz by 5.00pm tomorrow.

Nga mihi
