College Open Day

Our College Open Day was a hugely successful event with over eight hundred visitors who couldn't wait to explore the vibrant environment of our College.

Prospective students and their families enjoyed an immersive experience, guided by our current students on a tour of our College campus. The energy across the College was palpable as our guests engaged in a series of interactive activities, demonstrating the scope of educational opportunities our College has to offer.

Each faculty proudly showcased their work, unveiling the unique opportunities that set our College apart. Our co-curricular offerings also shone, with everything from Debating Club to The Knitting Club and the vibrant range of Library Clubs, there was something for everyone.

The day became even more special as numerous College graduates returned to explore the many enhancements to the College. Some even bringing their daughters or granddaughters to share in the excitement. It was a beautiful testament to the enduring sense of community that St Patrick’s instils in all who attend the College.

The Top Oval was filled with the beat of our talented College Band and the melodies of the Choir, turning the top oval into a lively hub.

Our Alumni Association and Parents and Friends Association were also a key part of our day, highlighting the incredible support networks within our community. A huge shoutout to the committees of each association, and a standing ovation for the P&F who ran the BBQ, sizzling and serving over eight hundred sausages to our guests.

A massive round of applause goes to the dedicated staff and students who poured their heart and soul into Open Day, generously sharing the depth of our College with the community. Thank you for making our College Open Day a roaring success!
