THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE SCHOOL

 

The School is at the centre of a community made up of the staff, students and parents/caregivers - and wider community made up of the members of three parishes -

 

St Patrick’s, Greymouth,
Cobden-Runanga
Grey Valley/Ngahere
 

 


- and also teachers and parents of St Patrick’s Primary School, past pupils and the wider Catholic Community of the Grey District, Christchurch Diocese and the Inangahua District/Reefton Parish of the Wellington Diocese.

 

 

The School community holds the following Christian values very highly:

  • Spirituality
  • Commitment
  • Excellence
  • Honesty
  • Co-operation
  • Courtesy
  • Consideration for others
  • Justice
  • Witness Integrity
  • Family & self-esteem.

We try to develop these values in each of our students.

 

The Motto: “Christ is the Key”

The following three values are central to relationships within the school.

Co-operation
