We appreciate your interest in St Patrick’s College as a prospective choice for your son’s education and the opportunity to be part of our community.
Enrolment applications are welcomed from birth, and the primary selection criteria is Catholic boys from practising Catholic families. Other factors considered when an application for enrolment is being considered include whether the boy has a brother(s) or had a brother(s) in the College and whether the boy is the son of an Old Boy of the College or is a close relation to Old Boys of the College (e.g., grandson or nephew).
The Enrolments Committee aims to identify applicants whose family share the College vision and mission and is best suited to the College’s holistic approach to education. It is important to note that meeting the criteria does not guarantee enrolment, as not all applicants will advance to an interview or an offer of enrolment. Unfortunately, demand for places exceeds the number we can offer.
The College entry point is Year 5, and enrolments are filled in that Year group. There are a limited number of boys accepted in other Year groups. Applications for entry into Years 6 – 11 are placed on a waitlist, and progress is based on availability and by invitation.
Currently, we are open to receiving applications for:
2027 and beyond, Years 5
2026 and beyond, Year 6-11
