The Age of Opportunity
St Augustine’s College is renowned for offering an exceptional educational experience that is highly regarded by its students. The College is a welcoming and enriching environment that fosters personal growth and provides access to many opportunities. Max Martin, 2023 College Captain, and Ben Cheshire, 2023 Prefect for Sport, share with Beaches COVERED. their personal experiences and valuable insights into the various opportunities that St. Augustine’s College offers.
Attending St Augustine’s College provides students with access to teachers who are experts in their field, and in 2023 this has been recognised again with two staff members invited to speak at the 2023 International Boys’ School Coalition Conference. The July event is in Auckland NZ, where educators will dive into research and best practice on how to positively impact boys’ education and develop men of the future.
In addition to the opportunities on campus, students have embarked on International tours this year to enrich their educational experience. 2023 tours so far have included Football’s UK tour, Language’s Italy tour, and Drama’s USA tour. Rugby’s Fiji tour, Cricket and Tennis’ UK/Europe tour and Basketball’s USA tour are still to come. There is also an Arnhem Land Immersion scheduled in the Northern Territory for late June.
Opportunities extend beyond academics, with a diverse, inclusive, and consistently successful Sport and Co-curricular Program, including the number one Schoolboy Rowing Program in Australia for the second year in a row. The entirety of the College’s U19 Men’s Coxed 4+ has been selected to represent Australia on the world stage at the 2023 World Championships in Paris, France, after last year’s World Championships victory.
“Throughout my journey here, it’s quite astounding just how much I’ve been offered. I’ve been involved in swim squads, band, debating, school plays, SRC, soccer, and cricket,” says Max Martin, 2023 College Captain. “While our academics are strong and we work hard, we also are sportsmen, musicians, artists, actors and athletes.
You can be whoever you want to be here at Saints. You just need to be your best self.”
The co-curricular activities Max references to provide ample opportunities for personal growth and self-expression. From drama productions to chess, coding club, theatre sports, bands, and music ensembles, there’s something for every student to explore his talents and passions. The College is also proud of the lifelong friendships formed on the playing fields, at camps, and during performances.
Ben Cheshire, 2023 Prefect for Sport says, “Our school is packed with memories, friendships, learning adventures and the capacity to discover oneself. I would encourage all boys to embrace as many opportunities as they can and get involved with all the College has to offer.”
