St Patrick's College (Silverstream) is a state-integrated school. Places go first to applicants with a preference connection to the school's special character (for example, a faith connection), so the usual in-zone and ballot rules don't apply in the same way. Where a geographic priority exists, it works within those preference criteria. Check the school's own enrolment scheme before relying on a zone result.

How enrolment at St Patrick's College (Silverstream) works
- St Patrick's College (Silverstream) is a state-integrated school with an enrolment scheme. Admission turns first on its special-character preference criteria — a religious or philosophical connection the school sets out in its own scheme — before where you live. Within those criteria, the scheme must give priority to applicants for whom the school is reasonably convenient. When a priority group has more applicants than places, the school's scheme sets how it chooses between them, for example by distance or ballot.
