St Joseph Camp video

Awesome clip from their amazing camp at Ranui.....

Learning through play at St Patrick's School.

We are excited to share with whanau and friends these new clips from Longworth Education. They have made these to help schools, teachers and families understand why teaching through play is so important for students and the development of their whole self.

These clips also reinforce that the explicit teaching of Literacy and Numeracy are maintained and that all children are growing in their Literacy and Maths knowledge through a well managed and structured daily timetable.

St Patrick's School, is situated in the heart of Napier's Art Deco residential area on Riverbend Road, Marewa. St Patrick's School is an integrated Catholic Primary School offering education with a Special Character for Years 0 - 8.

Our school motto is "To Live Justly."
As a Catholic school, we display this in our actions as well as our words.

So I invite you to sample a 'taste of St Patrick's' on this website, but even better still, I invite you to come and see the real thing.

We like to say at our School,

"There are no strangers here, only friends you haven't met."

We hope that you find this out for yourself.
