Our mission is to provide boys with an engaging, enjoyable and holistic education that liberates them and leads them to a wisdom for life.
As Ballarat’s only all boys secondary school, we appreciate the intensity and complexity of boyhood, and offer rigorous academic programs that challenge and inspire students.
Beyond the classroom, our co-curricular activities provide boys with opportunities to explore their passions, develop leadership skills and build lifelong friendships.
Our research-based learning and teaching practices drive innovative and robust programs which, combined with broad and engaging co-curricular activities, deliver a holistic educational experience for our students.
We seek to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which boys feel connected, respected and listened to.
Inspired by the charism of blessed Edmund Rice, we are dedicated to educating hope-filled, compassionate and confident young men for their place in the world.
Created in collaboration with proud Old Collegians, it’s a powerful reflection of who we are and where we’re headed.
It’s a story of identity, pride and purpose—one that celebrates the unique spirit of what it means to be a ‘Paddy boy’ and one we’re proud to share with our community.
Join us at St Patrick’s College on Saturday, 22 August for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate four outstanding Old Collegians whose lives of leadership, service and achievement have left a lasting legacy. All members of the College community are warmly invited to attend. Secure your tickets today!
