St Patrick's College, Silverstream is the premier Catholic boys’ boarding and day school in New Zealand.

Founded in 1931 by the Marist Fathers, St Patrick’s College is surrounded by seven hectares of beautiful grounds in Silverstream, an easy 30 minute drive north of Wellington City.

St Patrick’s College currently has a capped roll of 720 students, including a vibrant onsite boarding school (Redwood House) with almost 100 boarders. Due to the popularity of the College, an enrolment scheme has been introduced and waiting lists do exist, especially for day pupils. However, we are always very happy to talk to parents, grandparents, and interested family members about how you can improve your young man’s chances of attending St Patrick’s College.

Grounded in the teachings of Jesus Christ, St Patrick’s College is guided by the principles of the Christian faith and all students participate in religious tuition. Our teaching and support staff strive to encourage each young man in our care to take their place in the world following the moral principles they learn at the College – a school where tolerance, humility, empathy, and service to the community are not just ideals, but values that are lived out daily, seen, and appreciated by each family and the wider community.
