BULLYING NO WAY WEEK | Our Year 7 and 8 students joined Kids Helpline’s Largest Anti-Bullying Lesson last week as part of Bullying No Way Week. The lesson included practical strategies to recognise, respond to and help prevent bullying.

A great opportunity to promote kindness, respect and safe, inclusive school communities.

MACKAY EISTEDDFOD | Congratulations to the Choir on their fantastic results at the Mackay Eisteddfod! Our students received 1st Place in Show Choir, 2nd Place in Hymn and Folk, and Highly Commended in both Small Group Folk and Open Choral.

A big thank you to all our students and staff for their hard work and commitment in the lead-up to the Eisteddfod, and to our parents for their ongoing support. We are incredibly proud!

FULL TIME | A tough end to our APC campaign, going down to a Kirwan outfit that proved too strong on the day.

It wasn’t the finish we wanted, and the game brought more than its share of challenges, but we’re incredibly proud of the way this group has represented the College and each other throughout the season.

A special thank you to our Year 12s, who have now pulled on the St Patrick’s jersey for the final time. Thank you for everything you’ve given to this program. It doesn’t happen without our incredible sponsors, parents, staff, friends and supporters. We’re so grateful for the people behind the team every step of the way.

IRISH DANCING | Congratulations to Ava P, who competed in the Queensland Irish Dancing State Championships in Brisbane over the weekend.

Ava’s fantastic performance earned her a place at the 2027 World Irish Dancing Championships! An incredible achievement.

WHAT A RIDE | Our students hit the trails at the 2026 Finch Hatton Interschool Gravity Flow Enduro recently, putting their mountain biking skills to the test on the incredible Finch Hatton MTB Trails.

A fantastic day of riding and plenty of fun. Congratulations to all our students, and to teacher Josh H who took out the win for Male Teacher!

St Patrick's College is proud to be a major sponsor of the Mackay Eisteddfod!

The College has supplied all chairs, music stands and percussion equipment for the instrumental sections, while our students and staff have played crucial roles behind the scenes as marshals, stage hands and stage managers.

We're proud to support such a fantastic event for young musicians across the Mackay region!
