A.B. Paterson College
Arundel QLD
The Vision of A.B. Paterson College had its birth in 1989 over a shared meal with four close friends as they pondered the education of their children, that of their future grandchildren, and the future of young families on the Gold Coast for years to come. They saw a need for a school of substance, a school that celebrated our Australian heritage, a school with traditional values, and yet one with a progressive mindset to education within a caring and supportive environment. From this humble meal and initial discussion, the vision of A.B. Paterson College was born.
