St Patrick's School

St Patrick’s School in Katanning is a Catholic Primary School catering for all students from Kindergarten to Year 6.

At St Patrick’s Primary School, we are blessed to have so many wonderful children in our care. We believe that each child is a precious gift from God with their own gifts and talents. Our aim is to support each child in using their gifts to find their place in this world. We acknowledge the great work that parents do as primary educators of their children and we are striving to build open and trusting relationships with parents and guardians. We have a very close link with our parish in supporting our families and outreaching to those who are in need.

Our teaching and learning program looks to promoting life-long learning and the development of the whole child spiritually, emotionally, physically, intellectually and socially. Teaching and learning are at the core of our business and promotion of quality research based practice is driven at St Patrick’s.
