St Patrick’s College offers students an exciting and diverse range of cultural programs and activities designed to complement and balance the curriculum. These programs encourage participation, teamwork, self-confidence and creativity. Students across all year levels are actively encouraged to extend and explore their interests, skills and knowledge through participation in a broad range of cultural activities.

The cultural program provides students with opportunities for character development, decision-making, collaboration, problem-solving and leadership. These experiences enrich the lives of students and develop valuable global skills which empower them as they move into life beyond the college.
