MISSION STATEMENT

We are a Catholic school whose mission is based on the Good News of Jesus Christ. We are rooted in a long history of academic excellence and exemplary moral development in a constantly changing world. We welcome and value the involvement of all who have an interest in our world.

We are Church.

The Catholic Church bonds our community to God. Together we experience the rich tradition of our Catholic heritage. The priesthood of Jesus leads us to a full understanding of dogma, faith and values.

Students Are the Focus of Our Enterprise.

We challenge them to excellence in everything they do - spiritually, academically, socially, emotionally and physically. Together we grow in respect for self, others, authority and property.

Faculty Members Are the Agents of Our Enterprise.

We commission them to be teacher, mentor and friend. Together we model Catholic values by setting the examples of fairness, respect and a positive attitude.

Parents Are the Supporters and Guardians of Our Enterprise.

We share in supporting the education of our children. In a positive and constructive way we challenge the process of education. We all live in the broader community of province, nation and the global family. We serve that community by developing Catholic leaders, and We are served by that community through the provision of resources - spiritual, physical and personal. We are St. Patrick School.

CATHOLIC FOCUS

St. Patrick School believes that the Catholic faith as expressed through Gospel values, is the driving force in our community of learners, which includes five key groups: students, the parish, home and community; teachers and support staff and trustees. The school strives to be a Christ-centred community in which all may work and learn in a supportive, inclusive, meaningful, and respectful environment. Within the context of an authentic Catholic learning community, we strive to provide students with the opportunity to realize their potential and develop into highly skilled, knowledgeable, caring citizens who contribute to society.
