Life for the students of St Patrick’s College is built on the Gospel values of the Catholic Church. St Patrick’s is a distinct community that cherishes the religious, academic and social development of our young men.

Developing Men of Action

St Patrick’s College is a Catholic School in the Edmund Rice tradition. Our Mission Statement acknowledges building right relationships amongst students, the College staff, the parent body and the wider community as a fundamental value of our College. Consequently, it is the responsibility of all adult members within the community to work together in partnership to assist in forming our young men into Men of Action. CLICK HERE to view the document that sets out the guidelines that illustrate how all adults can work together, in partnership, in a consistent and effective manner to achieve this outcome.
