We are excited to celebrate the official opening of our beautiful new St Patrick’s Garden of Harmony, a special space created to honour community, connection, peace and shared belonging at St Patrick’s.

You’re warmly invited to join us at one (or both!) of our upcoming celebration events:

1. Parish Garden Opening - Sunday 15 March

Join us straight after the 8:30am Family Mass as the Croydon Park Parish leads the official opening and blessing of the Garden of Harmony.

Following the ceremony, Mrs Catherine O’Dea will host a Principal’s Tour for anyone interested in learning more about our school programs and facilities.

2. School & Parish Garden Opening - Wednesday 18 March

Following the 9:15am Mass, our students, staff, parents, and parishioners will come together as part of our St Patrick’s Day activities to celebrate this special new space.

Light refreshments will be available after each event.

We look forward to celebrating this meaningful milestone with you all!

We invite all Parents and Caregivers to attend our Annual General Meeting.
Come along to hear about what’s happening at St Pat’s and how we are continuing to grow as a community. Parents and Caregivers are encouraged to nominate for a position on the School Advisory Board—a great way to support and contribute to our school’s future.

We hope to see you there!

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions your family will make—and it’s about so much more than facilities or brochures. It’s about finding a place that feels right, where your child will be known, supported, and inspired.

At St Patrick’s School, Mansfield Park, our Principal’s Tours are the best way to experience the heartbeat of our school: our students, our classrooms, our community, and our warm, welcoming environment.

If you are considering St Patrick’s, here’s why joining a Principal’s Tour is the perfect first step.

Experience Classroom Life Firsthand

A Principal’s Tour gives you an open, honest look at daily school life. You’ll step inside active classrooms, see how our teachers engage with students, and watch the learning unfold in real time.

Families often tell us that it’s during the tour they truly “feel” what makes St Patrick’s special—our sense of belonging, our calm learning spaces, and the genuine relationships between students and staff.

Meet Our Leadership and Ask Questions

During the tour, you’ll spend time with our Principal, who will personally guide you around the school, share our vision, and answer any questions you may have about curriculum, wellbeing, enrolments, or school life.

It’s a chance to learn about:

• Our inclusive Catholic identity
• The values we teach and live each day
• Our approach to modern, high?quality education
• The ways we support every child to reach their full potential

We believe in transparency, openness, and meaningful partnerships with families—and your tour is the perfect place to begin that relationship.

We warmly invite you to join one of our scheduled upcoming tours:

• Sunday 15 March - 10:15am

A Community That Welcomes All

Our passionate educators and innovative leadership team provide a contemporary, future?focused education within a safe and supportive environment. Every child is encouraged and empowered to thrive.
