College Houses

The Patrician Brothers College house system underpins our Pastoral Care Program and is central to a student's sense of belonging at school.


It gives students from different year groups the chance to come together and contribute to college life while demonstrating loyalty and allegiance.

 

We have captured some of our heritage in our house names
