Every student who attends St Patrick’s Technical College is amazingly gifted and talented. Our focus is to provide a different style of education, accommodating students who love to work with their hands and helping find a pathway they are passionate about.
Our Year 10 to 12 students are inspired to use their unique gifts and talents to discover they really are capable learners. With a new sense of hope and value, this encourages them to be thriving young adults with the confidence to go out and develop meaningful and lifelong pathways to successful employment and future industry leadership.
St Patrick’s Technical College provides Year 10 to 12 students with the education, training, real-life personal experiences and employability skills that employers crave, setting them up for positive job prospects into the future.
The College is closely partnered with and guided by industry. We are a school that is connected and responsive to industry and completely innovative in its model around work experience, school based apprenticeships, VET and the SACE.
Learning and education is a lifelong process. We recognise that students learn differently and the skills they learn through a trade will serve them well for the rest of their life.
