Why Choose St Patrick's
At St Patrick's, students are known, cared for and valued in a warm, welcoming and vibrant community of dedicated and passionate staff committed to students feeling a sense of belonging and connection. We value the importance of community – school staff and families working in partnership to nurture the whole student, academically, spiritually, socially, physically and emotionally.
When asked why parents choose St Patrick’s, most parents cite the fact that the school has a very good academic record, teaches Catholic traditions and beliefs, is a ‘family-friendly school,’ is a safe place for their children and embraces Christian values. As with many Catholic schools in the Diocese of Lismore, St Patrick’s School has educated many generations and will continue to do so in the future. Our school is distinctly Catholic, with Masses and liturgies being celebrated in the school hall. Our Parish Priest visits the school frequently to work with staff and students.
By choosing St Patrick’s, your child will be encouraged to make the world a better place by making Christ-like decisions every day. Through authentic and innovative learning experiences, your child will become a lifelong learner who will contribute to society as an active and discerning citizen.

Christ lies at the heart of St Patrick's curriculum. We provide our students with a unique faith-based educational experience.
Choosing the best education for your child is one of the most important decisions for a parent. We all desire a schooling experience for our children that not only provides them with exceptional educational opportunities but also nurtures the whole human person.
Choosing a Catholic school will provide your child with a unique educational and Faith experience that seeks to form them into young people of faith, hope, purpose and joy. Our school supports each child to develop a commitment to the core values of the faith;
- Love of God
- An opportunity for a personal encounter with Jesus Christ
- Love and service to others
- Integrity, goodness and truth.
As a Catholic school, we are a Christ-centred community built on a commitment to the Gospel. We seek to serve the Gospel by accompanying young people in such a way that they may experience the ‘fullness of life’ (John 10:10) in learning and living well.
What you are seeking from an educational experience for your child may be;
- Diverse learning opportunities
- A commitment to the spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical care of each child
- A place of belonging.
These can all be found at St Patrick's.
