We offer a range of transition opportunities throughout the year to help your child feel comfortable and confident as they begin their journey at St Patrick’s College.
One of the highlights is our much-anticipated Founders’ Day, a fun and engaging event for Year 6 students. This day helps build confidence, connection, and House spirit as students participate alongside our other year levels in a welcoming and supportive environment.
We also hold an Orientation Day each December, where students experience a typical school day at the College. During this time, all year levels (with the exception of Year 11) participate in offsite activities, while prospective students trial a timetabled day filled with engaging and enjoyable classes. The day also includes opportunities to explore the school, meet staff, and become familiar with the College environment.
These experiences are designed to ensure a smooth and positive transition into secondary school life at St Patrick’s College.
