As a Christ-centred Catholic community, formed in the Good Samaritan tradition and impelled by the story of the Good Samaritan, St Patrick’s College aims to empower young women through holistic education to be independent and resilient lifelong learners who are actively engaged in working for a just society.
Our values
Rooted in the Benedictine tradition, our values are not only taught, they are lived, shaping the culture, relationships and daily life of the College. While all Benedictine values are embraced across the school community, selected values are given special emphasis at each year level. This helps students engage with them meaningfully as they grow in faith, character and understanding throughout their educational journey.
