Message from the Principal

On behalf of our entire school community, I welcome you to our website. St. Joseph’s Patrician College was founded by the Patrician Brothers in 1862 at the request of the Bishop of Galway at the time. It was known locally as the Bishop’s school hence the name ‘The Bish’. We are now part of the Le Chéile Schools Trust whose message of ‘Welcome, Witness, Wisdom’ is very evident in our day to day workings. This message is also on display in our school motto of ‘Love God, work hard and take care of one another’. With a student population of over 750 students, St. Joseph’s Patrician College offers a wide range of subjects at Junior and Senior Cycle. There is a strong academic emphasis where students are encouraged to achieve the highest academic standards. We also have a proud tradition of extracurricular opportunities in a wide variety of sport and cultural activities. We are a community working together to promote and develop a learning environment where students can reach their full potential by participating in a holistic and Christian education that will equip them to serve as good citizens. Parents subscribe to the Christian/Catholic philosophy of the school when they freely choose to send their children to the College. Please enjoy browsing our website and feel free to get in touch if you require further information.
