About our school

As a committed and diverse teaching and learning faculty, St Patrick’s College offers a liberating education that will foster the skills needed for the future. We will encourage our young men to be communicators, critical thinkers, creative and collaborative.

We will also offer him a sense of justice and solidarity and encourage him to look beyond himself and consider how he can make a difference to those in his community and those on the margins of society.

Whether his interests lie in the arts, academics, sport, community service, science, music or metalwork our comprehensive curriculum will help him find his passion.

No achievement, big or small, goes unnoticed. We will offer him a solid pathway to his future. Along the way he will build connections that he will carry with him throughout his life and will always be welcomed back into the community he called his home in his formative years. It is the combination of place, people and opportunity that moulds our young men into Men of Faith, Learning, Humility and Action.

Principal's Message

As a community we strive to build ‘Men of Action’ at St Patrick’s College. Everything we do is designed to support our young men as they strive to be Men of Faith, Men of Learning and Men of Humility. Our philosophy is drawn from our Catholic and Edmund Rice traditions of aiming to transform our students’ minds and hearts to build a more just, tolerant, and inclusive community by educating for liberation and possibility. At St Patrick’s we understand every young man learns differently, that’s why we offer a holistic approach to the education of our young men. Our broad and enriching educational opportunities, combined with our comprehensive co-curricular program, help our students uncover where their passion lies. Whether he plans to undertake tertiary studies or head directly into the workforce, our programs allow each student to work towards achieving his individual goals. He will be taught to be a critical thinker and problem-solver. We will actively encourage him to be a communicator, a collaborator, an innovator and to be globally aware.
