St Patrick's College, Kokstad, KwaZulu Natal

Strive for the highest

From the Headmaster

Welcome to the St Patrick’s College Website and thank you for taking time to look at our school.
St Patrick’s College, as an Independent Christian School, is a mere sixteen years old but we can trace our service to the people of East Griqualand back to the eighteen nineties, when the Holy Cross Convent opened a primary school at the St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral to serve the farming and trading community of the time. We have come a long way since then and now offer a holistic education to pupils from the age of three to nineteen, with the latter group writing the Independent Examinations Board National Senior Certificate.

U13 Boys Hockey at Treverton

On Friday, 13 August, the boys travelled to Mooiriver to play in a festival on the Saturday. What an experience it was for the boys because their festival was on astro. A first for some boys! The boys took a while to get use to the artificial surface but once they adapted they played like stars. The boys played four matches of which they lost three and drew one. Thank you to Mr Kelly and Mrs Simpson for accompanying the boys and to Yondisa Madikizela for being the umpire.
