Saint Patrick's High School

es Napier, the then Governor-General. Unfortunately the historical details are inadequate for any further details on this interesting period. W***y of the Society of Jesus was the founder of the present St. Patrick's School and for the first year of its existence, St. Patrick's was a co-educational institution. This arrangement, however, lasted only till March 18th 1862. Five sisters of the Daughters of the Cross arrived from Europe with Bishop Steins on March 13th, and five days later began their Convent School. At that stage, however, both schools formed one institution under the official management of the Parish Priest. This system continued till 1893 when the girls' school became an entirely independent establishment under the name of St Joseph's Convent School. Patrick's School song


With glorious flag aloft we march
To knowledge and to truth
With wisdom’s grace
To light the face
Of all our bravest youth

St Patrick’s, St Patrick’s
Rise up with faith ablaze
With hopes pure light
Disperse the night
And guide our separate ways

With courage high and hearts aflame
We venture into life
In streets and fields we boldly wield
Our honor bright mid strife

St Patrick’s, St Patrick’s
Rise up with faith ablaze
With hopes pure light
Disperse the night
And guide our separate ways
