The NZ Curriculum talks about schools having a set of values... For us here at St Pat's these are the values of Jesus Christ as set out in the gospels, the values that Jesus taught to his disciples through action, and these are the same values that we teach to our students.
Our values are expressed through the Charism of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop and are founded in
* Faith.... and trust in God
* Hope.... for the future
* Love.... of children and families
Mary MacKIllop was a woman of great courage and she never saw a need without doing something about it.
