Nurturing futures in Nhill

AWimmera primary school’s strong commitment to community is encouraging students to realise their full abilities.

Nhill’s St Patrick’s School is a modern and inviting school with a reputation for exceptional educational facilities.

The school, underpinned by strong Catholic values, offers a diverse curriculum upholding Gospel principles and nurtures spiritual development for children and families of all denominations.

Principal Kingsley Dalgleish said the focus on family values and community was a significant theme of the school.

“At St Patrick’s School, we live by our mantra of ‘nurturing futures’,” he said.

“We have a strong sense of community, not just within our school but within the wider community.

“There is a real family atmosphere, where everyone genuinely cares for one another.”

Mr Dalgleish said children at St Patrick’s School were well-supported, exhibiting a strong love for learning.

“We deliver a contemporary, high quality and evidence-based learning experience for students,” he said.

“We are proud of our achievements and we celebrate the successes of our students.

“As a professional learning community, our staff members nurture each child’s individual learning and particular talents, assisting children to learn to their full potential.”

Mr Dalgleish said continued goodwill and support of the community ensured the school’s vital role in the future education of the wider Nhill community.

“Voluntary efforts and connectedness of many school community members are evident at the school,” he said.

“In the classroom, students embrace technology through the use of laptop computers and their individual ipads with internet access.

“The library is open plan and well resourced and additional stock is added regularly.

“The outdoor play area includes a new covered playground, oval and a covered area for use during hot summers and wet winters.”

Mr Dalgleish said he welcomed any prospective families to phone St Patrick’s School on 5391 1575 to book a time to meet with him and to have a tour of the school.
