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.

Vision

Excellence - Make each day an encounter with Christ, 

Kia ihu Karaiti tō  ia rā

Dear Parents and Caregivers
The University of Canterbury is offering your child the opportunity to participate in the KIWI English,
Mathematics and Science competitions. These skills-based competitions take place annually and are
designed by New Zealand teachers for New Zealand students and closely align with the New Zealand
Curriculum. For further information, please consult the CAM website www.canterbury.ac.nz/cam/.
The competitions are open to all Year 5-10 students in English, Mathematics and Science. Students can only
register for the year level they are currently in. Each student can enter in one or more subject. Each
competition will provide parents/caregivers with an individual student report of their child’s overall
performance. These are available through your school. The supervised online tests will take place in the last 3
weeks of Term 2 and the first week of Term 3. The competitions are to be administered at school, under
exam conditions and supervised.
All participating students will receive a certificate, and a prize will be awarded to the top student nationally in
each competition. If two or more students share the same top score, then the prize is awarded to the
student with the highest speed and accuracy.
NOTE: Our policy is not to release test papers. The tests are provided primarily as a competition and not as a
teaching resource.
Entries are administered by the school. For further information, please consult the CAM website
