120 YEAR CELEBRATIONS
In 2025, St Patrick’s College Townsville proudly celebrates 120 years of educating and empowering young women. The College is inspired by Catherine McAuley, founder of the Sisters of Mercy, who dared to imagine a brighter future for women, hundreds of years ago. Thousands of girls have walked through the gates and today, the College remains dedicated to providing a quality education in the Mercy tradition.
This June, we warmly invited guests to join us for a weekend-long celebration with alumni, staff, friends and the wider College community. We were thrilled to share our rich history through videos, gifts, guest speakers and special events while celebrating this incredible milestone together. We proudly celebrated with Welcome Drinks & Campus Tours, a Gala Dinner, and a High Tea.
At the heart of this extraordinary weekend was friendship — the kind that lasts a lifetime. The enduring bond between our students, their lifelong friends, and the Sisters is something truly unique and deeply cherished. This is a community like no other, and these celebrations will remain close to our hearts for many years to come.
