Founded in 1952 by the Patrician Brothers to serve the mainly rural families of Blacktown and surrounding districts. The College is set on seven hectares in the heart of the rapidly expanding Blacktown City. Located just five minutes walk from the Blacktown interchange, the College is easily accessible by public transport. Like our City we have continued to grow and respond to the needs of our stakeholders but our culture has remained unashamedly Catholic and boy-friendly.

In 1996 - 1998 the College was part of a restructuring of Education in the wider Blacktown district and this meant the loss of years 5 and 6 and the inclusion of years 11 and 12.  An extensive building program was undertaken as part of this restructuring and 11 additional classrooms, new technology block, library, school office, and the Jubilee Hall were constructed ensuring that our school facilities are amongst the most outstanding in the Diocese.

The College motto “Christus Regnat” translates to “Christ reigns.” We strive to build a community where “Christ Reigns,” in the hearts of all. Where students are encouraged to grow and develop in a community that reflects the gospel values of faith, forgiveness, honesty, hope, justice, respect, tolerance and trust. The students are actively encouraged to develop a personal spirituality based on the Patrician ideals of; prayer, Eucharist, community life and care for the poor.

The College provides diverse learning opportunities which challenge students at every academic level. Highly qualified staff and diligent students consistently gain outstanding results in the School Certificate and Higher School Certificate examinations. Our curriculum and our teaching recognise the particular learning needs of boys. Year seven students study the traditional academic subjects, Religion, English, Mathematics, Science, Personal development, Health and Physical Education, History, Geography and Design and Technology. Students choose a LOTE subject (either Italian or French) in year eight. In years nine and ten students are given a wide choice of electives.

All students are given opportunities to excel. The Learning Support Department works closely with teaching staff to ensure that programs of study for each subject are adapted to meet individual needs.

The College offers a broad curriculum including Vocational Education courses in years 11 and 12 as part of a sister school compact with Nagle College. Courses such as Construction, Hospitality, Business Administration and Retail provide students with the opportunity to complete part of their TAFE course while at school.

Our students enjoy a myriad of opportunities to get involved in school life. The College has long held a reputation for producing sporting teams known for their discipline, skill and sportsmanship, Additionally we are recognised for our continued successes at State level in debating, public speaking and chess. Our student’s major works are often chosen for display from works across the state for the Art Express exhibition.

Our results are consistently high in all the Colleges’ endeavours and we are immensely proud of our students continued success in both the Higher School Certificate and the School Certificate.

The most recent and perhaps most significant change at the College has been the appointment of our first Lay Principal to the College, as of Term 3 2005, Mr Santo Passarello. The College continues to be under the guidance of the Patrician Brothers’ Charism  and the Patrician ideals will continue to be central to the College.

For boys’ education that is focused on physical, spiritual, academic and personal growth and that takes place in a supportive and caring Catholic community, Patrician Brothers’ Blacktown is the obvious choice for each talented boy or young man seeking opportunity.
