Education QLDÂ introduces St Patricks College in Mackay, for all your education and learning needs.
St. Patrick's College is a partnership between students, staff and parents, providing an environment of learning, personal growth and faith development while recognising students as young adults.
At St Patrick’s College we have a number of core beliefs about our students as late adolescents in a senior school environment:
-
they are beginning to see themselves as adults in an adult world
-
they are beginning to see themselves as individuals separate from both their families and also peers
-
they often use the move to St Patrick’s as an opportunity to reassess their attitudes and efforts – to make a new start if necessary.
-
their relationships with teachers begin to be characterized by partnership rather than an us-them attitude.
-
These assumptions mean that St Patrick’s College has an atmosphere different from many secondary schools in the way students are treated and how they respond.
