An examination for the Entrance Scholarship will be held on Friday 16 August 2024 at 9.00am at the College. Papers will be set in English, Mathematics and Religious Education.

This is an optional exam and students do not have to sit it. Parents are advised to seek advice from their son’s current teachers as to whether he should sit the examination. Application to sit the examination is made by writing to Ms Lucy MacLeod, Year 9 Coordinator – email [email protected] before Friday 9 August.

There are two Entrance Scholarships available which cover the cost of College fees and donations for the first three years of the recipient’s time at St Patrick’s.

This is single scholarship awarded to the son of an Old Boy. In term 4 each year our local Catholic feeder schools are asked to nominate a student who meets the criteria for this scholarship detailing the student’s all-round ability and contribution to their school.

This scholarship is valued at $1,000 and is intended to offset some of the costs involved in attending the College.

There are three scholarships to be awarded, valued at $1,000 each. One scholarship is specifically for Athletics and the two other scholarships are for general sporting achievement.
