Learning at SPC
St Patrick's College offers boys a broad range of subject choices that will equip them to confront the challenges of a rapidly changing world. The College has a strongly developed teaching and learning culture that challenges students to achieve their personal best, whether it be in VCE exams, the construction of an ornate table in Technology or mastering a musical instrument.
Each subject stimulates boys to pursue a world of diverse learning opportunities, both within the school grounds and at locations such as the Grampians National Park or waist deep in mud on a science excursion. These learnings are also developed through involvement in activities such as debating, nationwide competitions and community events.
The College has three distinct schools, Junior, Middle and Senior, enhancing student learning and encouraging continual pursuit of excellence. The Senior School (Years 10-12) permits students to study at the level that best reflects their current stage of learning. Our learning structures and highly skilled and committed teachers embrace new technologies and teaching methods to maximise individual development and plant the seeds for students to become life long learners.
The College's 2004 Curriculum Review and 2006-2010 Strategic Plan are foundation documents for the development of curriculum and the facilitation of learning experiences that will assist boys in achieving personal excellence in their chosen fields of endeavour.
