Welcome to St Patrick’s School
St Patrick’s School is an Integrated Primary School for girls and boys from New Entrants to Year 6, offering education with a special Catholic character. The Brigidine Sisters founded the original school over one hundred years ago and taught in the school until 1995. A close relationship exists between the school, St Patrick’s church community and the Catholic Parish of the Wairarapa. Our school is situated within the town of Masterton and the makeup of our students reflect the diversity of a family, friendly, rural town community.
