Welcome to Patrician Secondary School, a vibrant and inclusive learning environment that is dedicated to academic excellence, personal growth and holistic development.
The Patrician Secondary School has a proud tradition of serving Newbridge and the surrounding hinterland since 1960. Offering a broad and balanced curriculum under the founding intentions of the Patrician Brothers, and now continuing under the umbrella of the Le Chéile Schools Trust, we continue to seek and achieve standards of excellence in all aspects of school life.
An outstanding feature of Patrician Secondary School is the commitment of our dedicated teaching staff to the holistic development of our students in an inclusive and caring manner; their academic, cultural, physical, personal, emotional and spiritual development. This is reflected in our strong academic performances, the breath of educational programmes we offer and the diverse range of extra-curricular and co-curricular opportunities that we afford our students.
Our mission in Patrician Secondary School is to empower every student to reach their full potential by fostering a culture of excellence, curiosity and respect. We believe that education is a partnership between school, home and the wider community, and we are committed to working together to ensure the success of all our students. Wellbeing is central to all learning in our school and is supported by our pastoral and student support systems. This helps to create and support a happy and safe environment, one where co-operation and mutual respect are central to all our interactions and conversations. As a Catholic school, we recognise the unique worth of every student and our school ethos is very much one of inclusion and care.
I hope that you enjoy your visit to our website and get a flavour of the wonderful school community that is Patrician Secondary School.
