St Patrick's is a Catholic Parish Primary School in the Archdiocese of Melbourne. Christ is our model in faith, action and relationships. The parents, children and staff of St Patrick's come from a variety of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. St Patrick's is part of the evangelising, catechising and educational mission of the Church, and an integral part of St Patrick's Parish. The school works in partnership with parents to educate children to seek what is true, beautiful and good. This requires an attentive commitment to the development of the faculties of the whole child: spiritual, intellectual, aesthetic, physical, social and emotional. The children participate and grow in a supportive community, preparing them to contribute to the wider society to which they belong. Our Catholic faith informs all the means by which these goals are achieved, and thus we prepare our students for a life to be lived in time and eternity.
