House Theatre Sports Competition
Congratulations to Nunan House for their impressive win in the recent House Theatre Sports competition! We were delighted with the amazing talent and found the choral as well as the improvisation to be absolute highlights of the event. Well done to all who represented their Houses. Thank you to the judges, Mrs Katrina Bird, Mrs Sonya Roberts, Mr Marcus Ryan and Mr Tim Snibson for their diligent efforts.
Around The World in 80 Days
The Year 10 performance of Around the World in 80 Days — a fast-paced adventure for Phileas Fogg and his valet — will be held later this term. Passepartout and Mr Fogg travel the world in a time where steamer boats and trains were the only means to travel the globe. Mr Fogg has wagered his fortune on being able to complete the journey in only 80 days! Will he get back to London in time to save his reputation and fortune?
Students have worked tirelessly to direct, act, costume and design lighting and sound for this performance themselves. This really is a class generated production. While tickets are free, we kindly ask that you register your attendance via the link below.

VCE Play – The Play That Goes Wrong
Rehearsals are well under way for this hilarious production. Using conventions of meta theatre and murder mystery, these students have enjoyed experiencing the madcap hilarity that ensues when a play goes wrong!
This production is for one night only and all members of the community are welcome!

This will mark the eleventh consecutive year that St Patrick's College has led the Sturt Street ANZAC Day parade and is proud to be the only school in the district that has the honour of marching in this commemorative event.
This year, our band will again be directed by Mr Peter Gunn with our Drum Major and CUO (Cadet Under Officer), Benjamin Eckel returns to be the student leader once again. We also extend a warm welcome to our Business Manager Mr Andrew Jirik who will also be joining us for the march. Thank you to all staff involved in preparing the students for this event.
