Principal's Message


​Welcome to St. Patrick’s Parish Primary School! With its origins dating back to the early history of Ballarat, St. Patrick’s is both rich in its history and contemporary in its outlook. We are immensely proud of the education on offer in our school which covers all essential curriculum as well as religious education, environmental education and LOTE (Indonesian). As the students move from Foundation class through to their final year at school in Year 6 they will focus on their learning around being active and caring participants in a vibrant learning community.

Throughout the year all students are encouraged to participate in events and celebrations associated with the life of the primary school. Through sporting events, dress-up days, cultural celebrations, feast days and whole school assemblies we foster a sense of identity. Students are encouraged to enter the dialogue of our school through the student representative council, class meetings and house teams. At St. Patrick’s school, every child is respected and valued and all are encouraged to help build a happy school for all students and families.

God Bless,
Mark Hogbin ~ Principal
