St Patrick's College, as an Independent Christian School, is a mere eighteen 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. ? ?
