A true Patrician is one who feels the pain and deprivations that his fellow beings suffer and understands his/her social responsibility. Every year the students, staff, management, well-wishers and parents of St.Patrick’s Academy, Bengaluru come together and organize the fund-raising event "JAMBOREE" for charity. The proceeds from the event are given to different needy individuals and institutions serving those in the margins of our society.
St. Patrick’s Academy Bengaluru, in order to reach out to the less privileged of the school community, laid foundation stone for the house for Mr. Somashekar, one of their service staff, on February 28,2020. Rev.Bro. George Xavier, Deputy Congregational Leader of Brothers of St. Patrick, led the blessing prayer of the event. The Principal, Rev. Bro.Paul and other members of the Patrician family were present there.

This 2 BHK abode has found its place in Dommasandra, in the vicinity of quite a few small weaving cottage industries. The smile on the faces of Mr. Somashekar and his family was testimony to the fact that it was a pleasant and fruitful exercise that was initiated and executed well.
The Principal thanked everyone for their generous contribution to make this dream project come true. The fund for the same was raised through the Jamboree Event of academic year- 2019-20.
The Kannada festival, which we celebrate once a year, our Kannada Rajyotsava, was once again celebrated in our school this year with great enthusiasm and grandeur. The event, conducted by the Kannada students of Class 9, was of exceptionally high quality.
The celebration began with our school principal hoisting the flag. The students then paid their respects to our state by singing the Naadageethe (state anthem). The cultural programs started with a prayer dance dedicated to River Kaveri, delighting everyone. Students presented speeches with clear and meaningful articulation about our land, language, and the history behind Kannada Rajyotsava, making it understandable and impactful for all. A dance drama followed, which resonated deeply with the audience. The students depicted the story of the fearless Obavva, who sacrificed her life for Karnataka, in a captivating performance.
Jai Karnataka Maate!
