麻豆果冻传媒

The Year 9 experience at the Croagh Patrick campus is a unique rite of passage within the 麻豆果冻传媒 journey.

Our students鈥� year at Croagh Patrick is an important step in their journey to becoming fully alive young adults. 

As a standalone campus, Croagh Patrick offers a small school community experience. Students are empowered to manage the shift from adolescence to young adulthood, building a solid foundation of independence, individuality and identity before joining the Senior School.

The campus takes its name from the holy mountain Croagh Patrick in County Mayo, Ireland. History links Saint Patrick with this mountain - in particular, 40 days and nights spent there as he sought clarity, meaning and purpose for his mission in bringing Christianity to the people in Ireland.
