Our Catholic Identity

Aquinas College is a contemporary Catholic College inspired by our Christian Brothers and Mercy Sisters heritage. The College is a ministry of the Southport Catholic Parish and aims to be a community where Christ’s message is expressed in relevant and meaningful ways to students.

Aquinas College has a distinctive and vibrant Catholic Identity built around the person and vision of Christ, and the faith and spirituality of our College patrons: ~ St Thomas Aquinas ~ Edmund Rice ~ Catherine McAuley ~ Caroline Chisholm ~ Oscar Romero The spirituality and faith of each student is nurtured and valued as an important part of their growth and development as they journey through the College.

We hope to foster and develop the values of mercy, justice, faith, courage, service and compassion in our students to empower and enable students to not only be transformational in their own lives, but also in the lives of others

Wellbeing

At Aquinas College students are guided through their transition from adolescence to adulthood with a focus on developing spiritual, resilient and courageous global citizens.

With more than half a century of experience in assisting parents and young people in their educational journey, our teaching staff draw on a rich tradition of pastoral care, behaviour support and wellbeing programs.

Careers and Future Pathways

Vocational Education and Training (VET) is a learning pathway providing senior students the opportunity to engage in educational and training which may lead to employment and/or further study.

Aquinas College has built relationships with several external partners to provide students with well defined pathways to tertiary study or employment. Aquinas aims to provide programs to meet the needs of students of all academic levels and give them the opportunity to achieve their full potential in a support-ive educational environment. VET allows the College to provide students with individual pathway plans to assist them in transitioning from the College to employment, further training or tertiary education.

VET qualifications can be undertaken in Years 10, 11 and 12 and may provide credit towards the Queensland Certificate of Education.

Some of the benefits of participating in VET include:  Providing direct pathways to tertiary study     

(University,TAFE,Priviate Training Providers)
