St Patrick’s Primary is a Catholic school in Macksville, New South Wales, that provides Kindergarten through to Year 6 education to children in the Nambucca Valley area.
The school was founded in 1918, by the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, and the pupils were given lessons in the local priest’s car shed. The school has changed locations a few times in its 99 year history, most recently moving into a brand new school site at the start of 2016.
