Ex Students notices

Alumni "North Old Boys" Association - The first "Old Boys" football team entered a side in the Victorian Amateur Football Association in 1932 and reached the semi-finals the same year. Since then many members of the Association (known in parts as the "NOB's" ) have formed strong friendships through their common interests in sport. This comradeship for some continues in their membership of the North Old Boys St Patricks College Football Club. The Association was incorporated in May 1993.

Publications

All of the documents that appear in this website are available from the College office. One publication that has been invaluable in the sites creation is the book entitled The Spirit of North 1903 - 2000. The book, published in June 2000 and written by Ronald Stewart C.F.C., recalls the events and people who created and maintained the North Spirit. This publication is available for sale from the College offices.
