The Senior School is the culmination of the St Patrick’s College journey.

Starting in Year 10, our Senior students move from guided learners to independent thinkers. Year 10s benefit from early access to senior resources, mentoring, and a mature learning environment, ensuring a seamless transition into the distinct academic demands of Years 11 and 12.

All students are encouraged to gain their Tasmanian Certificate of Education (TCE). Every student’s journey is different, therefore we support a range of pathways to help every student achieve this goal.


Academic Pathways

ATAR/University Pathways
We offer a wide range of courses. Students are guided to select pre-tertiary subjects that maximise their Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR).
ATAR/University Pathways
Vocational Education & Training (VET)
Students can combine TCE studies with nationally recognised VET courses. On-site courses include Construction, Electrotechnology, Sports Coaching, Fitness, Salon Assistant, and Hospitality.

Future Pathways
Our Future Pathways team works with all students in Years 10-12 to navigate options, from university applications to securing school-based apprenticeships, ensuring a clear roadmap for the future.

Mixed Pathways
Students may choose to combine VET courses with TASC subjects to keep their options open.
