This became the ‘Roman Catholic Denominational School’ situated in the wooden Catholic Church (located next to the current church site on the Presbytery side). A schoolroom was built below the church in 1872.
Nearly 150 years later, St Patrick’s Primary School remains committed to building a school community of learners where parents, school staff and a vibrant teaching program are central to a successful learning process immersed in Christian values.
