Welcome to St Patrick’s Primary, Blacktown
School Motto – ‘Under Your Protection’
St Patrick’s is a Catholic Parish school for girls and boys from Kindergarten to Year 6. It is situated in a quiet, natural setting conducive to quality learning and teaching. Our mission is to celebrate a multi-cultural, Christ-centred community, where all members collaborate to provide a safe environment that nurtures every student.
Our school’s Religious Education Program supports both parents and the Parish Sacramental Team in the faith development of the students in the Catholic tradition.
The diverse curriculum caters for the needs of all students, encompassing gifted children as well as those with additional needs. We have the privilege of hosting an autistic class from Aspect NSW.
Our curriculum is complemented by state-of-the-art technology, with laptops, ipads, cameras, interactive whiteboards and Internet access in every learning area.
A major building and refurbishment project including new learning spaces and administration areas was completed in 2009 and through the Building the Education Revolution (BER) Program in 2011 a multi-purpose centre was constructed. The learning spaces allow teachers to share the learning across year groups and stages. These areas are inviting, comfortable and well-equipped 21st century centres for personalised learning.
The administration block is a pleasant and welcoming area and provides safe access for students and visitors. Our secure playground consists of beautiful gardens with a large ‘all weather turf’ area providing a pleasant outdoor learning and recreational area.
