The Plan outlines what it means to be part of our College community and identifies our priorities through the end of 2030.
As a Catholic School in the Edmund Rice tradition our foundation rests on the four touchstones of:
Liberating Education
Empowered by liberating teaching and learning experiences, we open our hearts and minds, so that we are hope-filled and free to build a better world for all.
Gospel Spirituality
Jesus’ invitation to love, justice, compassion, peace and faith, calls us to life-giving relationships within our communities and the wider world.
Inclusive Community
We welcome and celebrate diversity in our local, national and global communities, responsive to each person’s aspirations and needs, and committed to the common good.
Justice and Solidarity
We are committed to local and global justice and peace, grounded in a spirituality of action and reflection, inspiring us to listen to, walk with and learn from all creation, especially those who experience powerlessness.
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.
