Let your
light shine.

An independent Catholic day school for boys from Years 5 to 12 in the Edmund Rice tradition educating spirited men of faith and purpose.

Inspired by the gospel and Edmund Rice, St Patrick's College liberates the whole person and educates for resilient, spirited and inclusive men who are challenged to create a better world for all.

St Patrick's College continues to be a 'lighthouse' school for boys' education in Australia. As a College, we wish to stand tall and strong, illuminating our community from within and shining a light over our students to guide them to a safe harbour.

As reflected in our motto, Luceat Lux Vestra, we are committed to nurturing and challenging each boy to let his light shine. Our graduates will be men of integrity and wisdom who are called to share their light with others.
