Foundation & Alumni

Fostering communication between St Patrick's College, Silverstream & Alumni worldwide while supporting the College in shaping the future 

Stream Foundation

It’s a huge challenge to provide our Catholic youth with a first-class, faith-based education in the 21st century. The advance of technology and the need for constant innovation in teaching and learning place a big demand on resources.

The St Patrick's College Silverstream Foundation was formed with the support of the Board of Proprietors to help the College continue to provide world-class Marist education in the idyllic surrounds of the College Campus.

Our College has a rich heritage, stretching back nearly a century at its current site. As a community we urge you to share our vision for the future and help ensure that Stream remains at the forefront of Catholic education in New Zealand. The Foundation has a vital role to play in providing exciting education opportunities for current and future generations of Streamers. A Foundation is not just about financial resources. At its heart, it’s about the strength and unity that comes from working for a common purpose. The college is in good heart and has enjoyed many successes in recent years.

The Foundation provides a stronger college community where there are many opportunities for Old Boys and supporters to remain connected to the College in a way that they feel able.

Welcome to the St Patrick's College Alumni Community!

A global network, dedicated to fostering strong connections between the College and its alumni from around the world.

Our purpose is to cultivate a platform where friendships are rekindled, foster social and professional interaction, and where the spirit of St Patrick's College Silverstream thrives beyond the confines of time and distance.  As you engage with fellow alumni, our College and students, you contribute to the legacy of Stream, promoting the ideals of Marist charisma: scholarship, spirituality, and service to others.  Your presence enriches our community, and we look forward to embarking on this exciting journey together, united by our shared experiences and a commitment to Stream.

We would be thrilled to have you join our Alumni, for more information please contact foundation@stream.school.nz
