Our Vision, Mission & Values

An education in the Mercy tradition invites us to take up a challenge - one that encourages us to develop fully our own God-given talents. At the same time, it enkindles within us a desire to assist others, so that they too, 'may have life, and have it to the full'. John 10:10

Our Vision

St Patrick’s College Townsville ignites a passion for knowledge, wonder and curiosity, empowering all to be courageous and compassionate.

Our Mission

St Patrick’s College Townsville provides an inclusive joy-filled education that promotes fullness of life and nurtures excellence in learning. We are a proudly Catholic independent girls' school in the Mercy Tradition.

Our Values

Inspired by the practical example of Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy, we strive to bring Christ to everyone we meet and to everything we do.

COURAGE AND COMPASSION:  Courage and Compassion, central to the charism of Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy, embody the very essence of our College.

RESPECT AND HOSPITALITY:  Those with respect honour the integrity and diversity of creation. They recognise the unique dignity of every human being as created in the image and likeness of God. Empowered by the Spirit, they are called to be co-creators of the new creation.

INTEGRITY AND JOY:  Integrity and Joy foster a holistic education that prioritises both academic excellence and emotional wellbeing.

LOVE AND JUSTICE:  Love and Justice provide a framework for ethical decision-making and nurturing in a thriving community.
