Students, cast and crew have worked tirelessly since the start of Term 1, including Sundays and plenty of extended rehearsal to bring to you this magical show.
Pippin is being performed from 7-9 May at Loreto’s Mary's Mount Centre. Click on the button below to secure your seats!

Staff and students are excited about Edmund Rice Day celebrations which includes the spectacular St Pat's Has Talent show. This year we are featuring nine acts! Can the legendary and three times winner Ryan Cook do it again this year? Either way, it will be an amazing run for him and an incredible show.
With several singers, bands and solo artists prepared to showcase their talents and perform for the school, it doesn’t matter who wins but who takes part! Congratulations to the performers for making it through the tough audition panel to perform on Tuesday!
Hosted by our Drama Captain Josh Hayes and Vice-Captain, Gabe Bristow, the show is set to be a scorcher!

ANZAC Day Marching Band
Saturday, 25 April marked the 12th consecutive year that the St Patrick’s College Marching Band was heard leading the ANZAC Day Parade up Sturt Street. This year's Drum Major was once again Benjamin Eckel who confidently led the band one last time alongside Drill Sergeant Peter Gunn.
It is always an event of great pride and respect as our students give back to the community on this day of remembrance. Thank you to all those who participated and contributed to the band this year. We acknowledge the contributions of Ms Mary Dyer, Mrs Katrina Bird, Mr Will Stevens and SPC Business Manager Mr Andrew Jirik.
