St Patrick's College was founded in 1929 as St Patrick's Christian Brothers College, an all-boys school run by the [[Congregation of Christian Brothers]]. The school was situated on the Gregory Street site which is the main site of the current senior campus. From the 1870s, the River Street site of today's St Patrick's College was occupied by St Joseph's Convent School (later St Patrick's Convent School). On the closure of the convent primary school, the Christian Brothers' College obtained the use of the River Street land. On the River Street side was CBC's primary school and on the Gregory Street side was CBC's secondary school. In 1987 [[Our Lady of Mercy College, Mackay|Our Lady of Mercy College]] (an all-girls school) became [[Mercy College, Mackay|Mercy College]], a co-educational school for junior high school (Years 7–10) and St Patrick's became a co-educational school for Years 11 and 12. |
|||
In 2023, Mercy College and St Patrick's College combined to become St Patrick's College; a Years 7-12 College operating across two campuses. The site of the former Mercy College became the Mercy Campus, for students in Years 7-10, whilst the St Patrick's College site was named the Senior Campus, for students in Years 11 and 12. |
|||
==Cultural life== |
|||
St Patrick's College was originally founded in 1929 as Christian Brothers College, as an all-boys school. The school was situated on the Gregory Street side of where the current school is. In the late 1800's, the river side of today's St Patrick's College was occupied by St Joseph's school. When the Sisters of St Joseph moved to North Mackay, the Christian Brothers acquired the river side land. On the river side was CBC's primary school and on the Gregory Street side was CBC's secondary school. During a renewal process, the school became known as "St Patrick's Christian Brothers College. In 1987 St Patrick's became what it is today. A renewal process resulted in Our Lady of Mercy College (an all-girls school) becoming a co-educational school for lower high school (grades 8-10) and St Patrick's becoming a co-educational school for upper high school (grades 11 and 12.) |

Edmund Ignatius Rice was born on the 1st of June 1762 in Ireland. He was a wealthy merchant. In 1785 he married Mary Elliot, but tragically, she was killed instantly after being thrown off her carriage when the horse pulling it was spooked. Rice then devoted himself to studying the scriptures and charity work. Using his own money, he funded schools for poor boys, but when he couldn't find staff who would teach the boys, he trained teachers that were completely devoted to teaching and living a life of prayer. In 1808, Edmund Rice and six others of his staff took religious vows. The Christian Brothers, an order of brothers devoted to teaching and evangelizing youth, were formed shortly afterwards, and they have established schools throughout the world. Edmund Rice died on the 29th of August 1838. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1997 and is now called Blessed Edmund Ignatius Rice. |

Born in Ireland in 1778, Catherine McAuley was a Catholic nun who founded the Sisters of Mercy. Her father was a wealthy man, and when he died, Catherine inherited a large portion of his wealth. She used the money to build a place where she could feed and clothe poor women and their children. Catherine and her helpers entered a program to train as nuns, and after one year they took their vows and established the Sisters of Mercy. The Sisters of Mercy have established hospitals and schools around the world. Catherine McAuley died in 1841. Pope John Paul II, in 1990, officially declared her ''venerable'', after Pope Paul VI put forward a case for her beatification in 1978. She is close to being declared a saint. |

He worked at the Parish of Cerdon where his brother Pierre Colin was the parish priest. While there he met up with Jean Marie Chavoin who joined with him in the Marist Project. He preached missions in the Bugey, a country region, with others priests who wanted to be Marists. He was asked to take over the College of Belley as Principal and when Rome approved the Society of Mary he was elected as its first Superior General.

Caroline Chisholm was born in 1808 in England. She was born a Protestant, but after marrying Captain Archibald Chisholm, she converted to Catholicism. When in India with her husband, she saw the suffering of the people on the streets. She then established a school for street children and this started her life long charity work. In 1838, Caroline and her family moved to Sydney, New South Wales. She went on regular walks around the wharves of Sydney, and after seeing the poor and desperate people living in the gutters and doorways she decided it was God's plan for her to help those people. Today she is seen as a social reformer and a heroine for her outstanding work with the poor women of Sydney. Caroline Chisolm died in 1877. |

History
[edit] |
St Patrick's College was founded in 1929 as St Patrick's Christian Brothers College, an all-boys school run by the Congregation of Christian Brothers. The school was situated on the Gregory Street site which is the main site of the current senior campus. From the 1870s, the River Street site of today's St Patrick's College was occupied by St Joseph's Convent School (later St Patrick's Convent School). On the closure of the convent primary school, the Christian Brothers' College obtained the use of the River Street land. On the River Street side was CBC's primary school and on the Gregory Street side was CBC's secondary school. In 1987 Our Lady of Mercy College (an all-girls school) became Mercy College, a co-educational school for junior high school (Years 7–10) and St Patrick's became a co-educational school for Years 11 and 12. In 2023, Mercy College and St Patrick's College combined to become St Patrick's College; a Years 7-12 College operating across two campuses. The site of the former Mercy College became the Mercy Campus, for students in Years 7-10, whilst the St Patrick's College site was named the Senior Campus, for students in Years 11 and 12.
Cultural life
[edit] |
There is a wide selection of cultural activities available within the college. Many students exhibit talent in public speaking, drama, music and the visual arts. St Patrick's College provides students with opportunities to further their creative skills, and encourages participation in cultural activities both in the college and the wider Mackay community.
The college participates in interschool debating and encourages students to enter competitions such as Lion's Youth of the Year, Youth Speaks for Australia, Rostrum Public Speaking and so on. The college has established an enviable record in the areas of dramatic performance, debating and public speaking, with St Patrick's being State Champions of Queensland in the Apex Debating Competition in 2005 and 2006, and National Champions in 2004. Debating is arguably the school's most successful extracurricular, non-sporting activity.
St Patrick's College provides opportunities for students to develop their musical talents and provides opportunities for performance. Musical tuition is available through the college in brass, woodwind and percussion, and Music is available as a subject to study. Students have the opportunity to play in the stage band and concert bands which are combined bands with Mercy College Mackay. The St Patrick's choir has attained a high reputation in the community and the handbell ensemble (being one of the largest in the southern-hemisphere) is a unique and challenging musical experience for students. In 2006, the handbell ensemble attended the World Handbell Symposium in Brisbane and were delighted to receive the top mark in Youth strand for their performance. In 2009 co-curricular arts students travelled to New Zealand for the Rhapsody Rotorua music festival and the 25th Australasian Handbell Symposium.
St Patrick's is well-renowned in the community for its high-quality bi-annual theatre productions, which have included adaptations of The Wizard of Oz, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, West Side Story (2006), Godspell (2008) and All Shook Up (2010) as well as award-winning original productions such as Bars (2007). In 2012 the college presented an adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webbers' Cats, becoming one of the first schools in Australia to perform the production.
The college also hosts a cultural dinner and cultural soiree to showcase and acknowledge students’ talents and achievements. The lunchtime comedy theatre is one of the year's attractions. St Pats regularly produces musicals or theatre restaurants, and participates in the Mackay Festival of the Arts.

Both subjects are approved by the Queensland Studies Authority (QSA) and results from both subjects will appear on students’ senior certificates.
