ARE YOU READY TO START
Your Trade Career?

St Patrick’s Technical College provides a different style of education from that of mainstream schools. Located in Edinburgh North, our purpose-built trade facility provides a unique learning environment, accommodating Year 10 to 12 students who love to work with their hands and helping find a pathway they are passionate about.

The College offers eight pre-apprenticeship VET programs, along with a comprehensive work experience program, to enable students a deeper understanding and experience of their chosen trade. This provides students with a greater skillset leading to employment opportunities in current and future trades:

What Makes Us Different?

St Patrick’s Technical College is South Australia’s only stand-alone Year 10 to 12 vocational education college. We offer a trade relevant SACE curriculum, training and apprenticeship pathways for students in pursuit of vocational education and training options.

The SACE curriculum has been developed specifically to support the pre-vocational training. Our educational model allows for the complete integration of SACE with VET, with core subjects taught in a way that makes them relevant to each specific trade program. These subjects have been developed with direct input from industry.

St Patrick’s Technical College provides students with the education, training, real-life personal experiences and employability skills that employers crave for, setting them up for positive job prospects into the future.

Learning and education is a lifelong process and we recognise that students learn differently. The education and skills students acquire while on their educational journey, at the College, through trade exploration and real workplace experience, will serve students well for jobs now, of the future and for the rest of their lives.
