To accommodate a variety of learning styles and increase access to various resources, our school has efficiently integrated technology into the classroom. As such, we have been recognised by Apple with a designation for our innovation, leadership, and educational excellence in the use of digital technology across our curriculum.
All of our classes practise weekly Christian Meditation, an initiative for which we received the Catholic Education WA LEAD award for Discipleship in 2017. We believe it is a powerful tool for our students’ spiritual growth.
Senior students are given opportunities to grow as future leaders through the St Patrick’s Student Leadership Program, beginning in Year Five with Beach Adventure Camp. Year Six students participate in a four-day adventure camp, as well as dedicated leadership days. These experiences are designed to encourage senior students to embrace their role as leaders, modelling behaviours and characteristics that the younger students can aspire to.
As a Waste Wise accredited school, we promote the sustainable use of natural resources and make a conscious effort to minimise our collective environmental footprint.
Through the SEL Program, students are taught essential tools for self-management and building resilience. They learn to apply these skills not just in the classroom, but also at home and on the playground to thrive in all aspects of life.
Students have the opportunity to join various extra-curricular clubs, including but not limited to: Digital Club, which focuses on expanding digital know-how and skills; Drama Club, which puts on various live performances throughout the year; and Mini Vinnies, a student group that engages with issues of social justice in the community.
