St Patrick's College is a coeducational Catholic secondary (7–12) college, located in Launceston, Tasmania. The college has around 1301 students enrolled. St Patrick's College prides itself on its various sporting and academic achievements and has a wide involvement in the visual and performing arts around the area. St Patrick’s College was established in 1919, as St Patrick's Preparatory College by the Christian Brothers. In 1958, the Christian Brothers opened a new campus for St Patrick’s College at Prospect. This became a secondary College for boys. In 1963 St Patrick's College moved its secondary classes to Prospect, leaving the city site to St Patrick's Preparatory School. In 1998, the Year 7 classes left the Newstead campus and came to join the other classes at Prospect. The process of amalgamation to a Catholic College on a single campus was complete. The College Crest, designed by staff and students, combines elements of the crests of the three Catholic Colleges that previously existed in Launceston. In 2003 St Patrick's had an enrolment of over 1200, making it the largest secondary school in Tasmania.
