The Academic Assembly, the first major assembly for the year, was held on February 10 and recognised the efforts of our high achievers from 2011. Other highlights of a busy term included the annual Music Camp as well as the Year 7 and 9 Camps and the Year 12 Retreats.

    ST PATRICK’S COLLEGE BALLARAT Vol. 13 Ed.3 December 2014 the Shamrock the Shamrock The end of the 2014 school year marks the end of an extraordinary era for St Patrick’s College. Over the past 13 years outgoing Headmaster Dr Peter Casey has transformed the College into a modern, vibrant, successful and ever-growing organisation which has become the envy of schools around the nation. No aspect of College life has been left unimproved by Dr Casey’s tenure. While all at the College wish Dr Casey and his wife Anna all the very best in retirement, we also acknowledge that the end of the school year presents a time of farewell for many other members of our community. Our Year 12 Class of 2014 have now departed and are embarking on new challenges while several other staff members are venturing into new experiences in 2015. We wish them all the best and thank them for all they have contributed to St Patrick’s College. We also look forward to welcoming many new faces to the College in the new year, including of course 250 Year 7 students and our incoming Headmaster Mr John Crowley. We also take this opportunity to wish all in our community a joyful and restful Christmas and New Year and we look forward to seeing everyone back fit and refreshed in 2015. Top shot!
