Our collaboration with other schools and organisations as part of the Manaiakalani cluster, Kiwi Sport cluster provides opportunities for our pupils to develop and reach their potential through academic, cultural and sporting endeavours.
We are part of Manaiakalani, an education programme achieving significant improvement in student achievement outcomes for 12 schools in the Auckland suburbs of Glen Innes, Pt England and Panmure. By offering students full digital citizenship, the Manaiakalani Programme is not only achieving improved educational results, but also realising the potential for enhanced employment and life outcomes for our students.
To make digital citizens of our students and their whānau, we enable them to access their learning anywhere, anytime and at any pace. We do this by providing access to a personalised netbook and wireless internet access at home and school and by supporting Manaiakalani teachers in their continuing pedagogical innovation.
From Year 5, St Patrick’s pupils own their own netbook.
Our Manaiakalani Cybersmart programme is an important part of our curriculum and goes hand-in-hand with our approach to learning and our commitment to Special Character.
We teach our students to take responsibility for their safety online with a comprehensive curriculum addressing what it means to be smart online and we also have resources to inform ‘Smart Parents’ who can support positive online behaviour.
CyberSmart education starts in Year 1.

Te Reo and Tikanga are integrated into all subject areas at St Patrick’s School. Across the learning strands, students have opportunities to learn about the rich and diverse cultures of our school family and use this understanding to deepen their learning.
In addition, each year we explore a range of activities with our students.
