St Patrick’s located in Walcha, which is 65km south of Armidale, 110km East of Tamworth. A few of our students live outside the shire while a number travel great distances to get to school. Some students travel up to 45 minutes by car and bus to reach school.

The motto of St Patrick’s School is “Growing in Wisdom and Faith”.

As a school community, our school’s mission is to provide an inclusive Catholic environment where the Gospel values of Wisdom and Faith can grow and be nourished. We aim to develop individuals to their full potential and instil in each person a sense of responsibility, self-discipline and respect for the needs of others and for the environment in which we live.
