St Patrick’s (Nightcaps) is a small, rural, integrated Catholic primary school for students in Years 1 to 8.

St Patrick’s (Nightcaps) is one of three schools that make up the Trinity Schools.

The other two schools are St Joseph’s (Invercargill) and St Teresa’s (Bluff).

These schools are governed by one board and managed by one principal.

Each of the three Trinity schools has an on-site associate principal.

The Trinity Schools’ vision for their students is that they will be confident, connected, actively involved lifelong learners.

The schools seek to achieve this through providing: a warm, friendly and safe environment; high quality education for all students; and a harmonious partnership with the whole community.

The schools prioritise their Catholic character, including the values of truth, compassion and charity.

St Patrick’s School also emphasises leadership by senior students, the importance of resilience and persistence, and valuing school partnerships and relationships.
