A.B. Paterson College

The standards at this College have dropped in recent years despite the efforts of some great staff. Leadership is lacking and disjointed. Lack of ethical behaviour at the top. Stay away, there are much better alternatives.

The school is primarly academically driven, however this year (2023) they have dramtically increased the sport opportunities. The school has excellent communication with parents. They offer fantastic international tours for the senior students who are participating in the academic classes. The primary school teaching staff are supportive and open to regular communications.
The school offers an online parents portal, so all student school related tasks are easily tracked and managed.
Highly recommended :)

Very academically focused school-good for gifted and talented students and hard working students looking to get OP 5 or better.
Sports teams don't seem to have too much success so if your child is into a specific sport I would chat to the staff directly about that sports recent accomplishments.

Very, very strict, good head sport teacher.
