​​Community Connections

St Patrick’s Primary School is deeply embedded in the heart of the Gympie Catholic community. We maintain strong and active partnerships with St Patrick’s Parish, St Patrick’s College, and various local organisations to support the holistic development of our students.

Our connection with St Patrick’s Parish is central to our identity as a Catholic school. Students regularly participate in liturgical celebrations, prayer, and sacramental programs in collaboration with the parish. The parish also supports our faith formation initiatives and provides pastoral care to families across the region, including Gympie, Gunalda, Imbil, Kandanga, Rainbow Beach, Tin Can Bay, and Widgee.

We are proud to be the main feeder school for St Patrick’s College​, located nearby on Calton Hill. Many of our students continue their educational journey at the College, which shares our commitment to Gospel values and academic excellence. The College and Primary School work together to ensure a smooth transition for students and to foster a sense of continuity in Catholic education.

Additionally, we collaborate with Catholic Early EdCare​, which provides Outside School Hours Care on our campus, supporting families with before and after school care as well as vacation programs.

These partnerships enrich our school community and reflect our shared mission to nurture students spiritually, academically, and socially within a caring and connected Catholic environment.
