St Patrick's College, Ballarat
Encyclopedia
St Patrick's College was founded by the Christian Brothers
in 1893. It is a Roman Catholic day
and boarding school
, located in Ballarat, Australia
. It provides education for boys from Year 7 to Year 12, with an emphasis on sporting and academic programmes. The school continues the tradition of the Congregation of Christian Brothers
, in providing education for boys in Victoria and continuing the tradition of Blessed Edmund Ignatius Rice
, who founded the Congregation of Christian Brothers
in 1802.
and started in 1888. Also in 1888 St Alipius Primary School was established by the Christian Brothers. However, after a promising start, the senior school closed due to the Holy Ghost Fathers' departure for France. The Bishop of Ballarat at that time, the Most Reverend James Moore
, quickly contacted the Provincial of the Christian Brothers in Australia, Brother Patrick Ambrose Treacy
, to take over the running of the school. The new college opened its doors on 24 January 1893, as St Patrick's College. Four Christian Brothers
were on the initial staff, with the Reverend Br J.L. Ryan as the founding headmaster.
In 1924 St Patrick’s Christian Brother's boys’ primary school was built in Drummond Street South. This school and St Alipius were operated by the Christian Brothers at St Patrick's College but both became parish schools in the 1980s. St Patrick's College now no longer has a junior school attached to it and students commence at Year 7 having completed their primary education elsewhere.
The school gradually grew in stature and size to become not only the largest Catholic school
in Ballarat, but one of the leading Catholic schools in Victoria. The college, under the governance of the Christian Brothers, grew from its first enrolment of 36 students in 1893 to 168 in 1902. The school's academic record was first class even in its infancy, with the 1893 dux
of the college, Sir Hugh Devine, becoming a world famous surgeon. The school has grown immensely in the past 100 years, with over 1,000 boys currently enrolled.
The college, in 1933, completed the construction of the Brother's residence, a large imposing red-brick building, still dominating the facade of the school. A memorial chapel was constructed in 1954 and dedicated to the memory of St Patrick's Old Collegians, who died during the First and Second World Wars. This large Romanesque chapel still holds pride of place at the front of the school and is the centre of the schools's spirituality. The college proudly has over 300 graduates who have been ordained priests, a record in Australia. Over 60 graduates have entered into religious life.
In 1966, the W.T. O'Malley Wing was completed in dedication to the Reverend Br. William Theodore O'Malley, who was not only deputy headmaster of the college for 30 years, but taught at the college for over 40 years. He is remembered as one of the greatest brothers to grace St Patrick's College, with many Old Collegians dedicating their successes to his tuition. In 1976 the J.L. Kelty Resource Centre was opened. It is dedicated to Brother Justin Linus Kelty, a former headmaster, who led the college through one of its most glorious periods in the 1960s.
In 1979, the college completed the W. T. O'Malley Sports Centre, which was officially opened by former students and Brownlow Medal
winners John James and Brian Gleeson
.
In 2004, the college officially opened the W.J. Wilding Wing, which now houses the senior school. The building was named in honour of Brother William Wilding, a former headmaster of the college in the early 1980s who oversaw the completion of the Dr Spring Administration Wing. The current headmaster, Dr Peter Casey, has led the college since 2002 and continues the work started by the Christian Brothers
.
Named in honour of Br J.L. Ryan - Headmaster from 1893–1895, who set the foundations of the college and led it during its formative years. Keniry House
Named in honour of Br E.F. Keniry - Headmaster from 1912–1915 and 1920–1924, who ran the college throughout the first part of the war and was a driving force behind establishing the Old Collegians Association. Nunan House
Named in honour of Br M.P. Nunan
- Headmaster from 1910–1912, Nunan put into effect the completion of the development plan and expanded the curriculum. Galvin House
Named in honour of Br T.B. Galvin - Headmaster from 1925–1926, Galvin was not only a man of great wit but is remembered as an academic and a brother who had a large influence over the boys at the time.
The college promotes the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church, basing itself on the four pillars of faith, excellence, tradition and joy. The patron of the college, the Most Reverend Peter Connors, Bishop of Ballarat, presides over the major college masses along with other priests (including former students of St Patrick's).
