Deputy Principal

The first term is quickly coming to an end. Term 1 has certainly been busy.  We have had some significant whole school events such as the athletics and swimming carnivals, St Patrick’s Day celebrations, the welcome assembly, Boat Race, and the Academic Excellence Assembly. These events bind us together as school community and provide our boys with a range of experiences that will assist in making them fine men for the future.

The approaching school holidays will provide all in the St Patrick’s College community with an opportunity to re-energise for Term 2.

Uniform for Terms 2 and 3

The St Patrick’s College uniform is the outward expression of our students’ sense of belonging to our College. The manner in which it is worn is something that we as a College community value and place great importance in.

As we move into the cooler months of the year, it is time to consider the St Patrick’s College uniform. From the commencement of Term 2, St Patrick’s College students will be required to wear full College winter uniform. Shorts are not to be worn in Terms 2 and 3. 

The winter uniform comprises:

• Suitcoat:
  • College suitcoat to be worn to and from school. This will be checked during morning administration and in the afternoon upon departure. 
• Tie:
  • College Tie to be worn (Year 7-11).
  • Year 12 College Tie (Year 12).

• Spray Jacket:
  • Only to be worn to and from school over the top of the suit coat. The spray jacket should only be worn on wet days and should not replace the suit coat. The spray jacket is not to be worn during the day, particularly during classes as well as recess and lunch. 

Physical Education Uniform is only to be worn on days when students have Physical Education or Sports classes as part of the school curriculum. Students playing after school sport will get changed at the end of the school day.
