Discover a School with Altitude

St Patrick's is a school that looks forward. A school where we can hold our heads high, where we can be proud and confident in ourselves and in each other. A 'School with Altitude' has students and teachers who believe that anything is possible. Our passionate students and teachers know they can take risks and learn in new and exciting ways.

We are an inclusive school where relationships and a strong sense of community are central to learning and being. We are a school where students not only develop their unique gifts but are also genuinely affirmed and respected by others. God is with us, around us and always walking with us. Read more.

Our Mission

We share the Good News of Jesus Christ and promote the Kingdom of God and its values, reflecting a spirit of Strength in Gentleness.
We endeavour to treat each person with gentleness, dignity and respect, realising each of us is made in the image of our loving God.
We strive to challenge each other to become independent, creative co‑learners through a self-disciplined search for academic, emotional, physical and spiritual fulfilment.
We aim to develop each person's unique gifts and talents so that our community and world can become a better place.

We live out our mission through our House System, Religious Education, school prayer, community participation and outreach, learning beliefs, school expectations, our Learning Community, pastoral care, home learning, school uniform and extra-curricular activities.

CATHOLIC EDUCATION

19 Jan 2018

DO YOU THINK A HIGH QUALITY, CATHOLIC EDUCATION IS OUT OF REACH FOR YOUR FAMILY (OR A FAMILY THAT YOU KNOW) BECAUSE OF FEES?

Consider this: All students who are prepared to accept our high standards (for behaviour and learning) are welcome at St Patrick's Parish School. We are a school for all.

You do not have to be Catholic and no student will be refused enrolment, be excluded, or be disadvantaged because of an inability (as opposed to an unwillingness) on the part of the parents/guardians to meet financial requirements.

Fees may not be as high as you imagine. We are a low cost alternative to the public education system.

For example:
One primary child in 2017 = $53.80 per week.
One Year 7/8 child in 2017 = $72.20 per week.

We offer family discounts. Reductions in fees are considered after a confidential conversation with the Principal.

If you are interested in exploring this option for your children, but thought it might be too expensive or you are just not sure what a Catholic Education means, email the Principal Mrs Frances Robertson (frances.robertson@cg.catholic.edu.au) to set up an appointment to discuss how we can meet your children's learning needs.

Please share this information with families that you know.
