St Patrick School hope to assist each child to become aware of his own worth and integrity as a human person to develop his potential as a student, as a member of the human family to which he must respond with faith & concern, and finally as a creature destined for union with God.
It is our aim to instill in our students values that will enable them to make responsible choices as members of the Christian Community.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our teachers and curriculum, and the scores of our students on national standardized tests have been consistently above average.
