Patrician Brothers' College, Blacktown

The College was founded in 1952 by the Patrician Brothers to serve mainly rural families of Blacktown and its surrounding districts.

This led to an extensive building program with the addition of 11 classrooms, a technology block, library, a school office, and the Golden Jubilee Hall, as well as an amphitheatre finished in 2013.

During the Arrive Alive Cup in 2007 the Patrician Brothers Blacktown progressed to the grand final.
