About our school
St Patrick’s College has a proud history of educating young men since 1952. The College has been home to thousands of students and has provided them and their families with a sense of belonging and community.
Over the past 73 years we have evolved to be a successful teaching and learning facility that nurtures our students for success. Teaching and learning practices have changed dramatically over the years, and as a College we are well prepared for future educational advancements. We are responsive to the rapidly changing world around us and the impacts this will have on the future workforce and are committed to ensure our young men are well equipped with the skills and values they will require to be successful. One thing that has not changed is St Patrick’s dedication to develop young men into good citizens who go out into the world and make it a better place.
We recognise the achievements of our past students in their pursuit or successful careers and professions. Special thanks to our families, students both past and present and friends of the College for adding to the fabric of the College to make it the special community it is today.

Umbarra
In 2023, St Patrick’s embarked on a new chapter with the officia launch of Umbarra, a First Nation’s student group.
Paddy’s Van
In these increasingly tough economic times, the importance of the St Patrick’s College Paddy’s Van in the community has never been more evident.
Toast Room
Every Thursday morning volunteers serve a quick breakfast to the College community. There’s no better way to start the day.
Immersions
Our immersions encourage our young men to broaden their horizons and walk in solidarity with those on the margins both locally and globally.
Paddy’s Garden
The Paddy's Garden is run by our Junior students and all produce goes directly to the Paddy's Van and our New Street Cafe
