At Ƶ we are committed to educating our students to take their place in a global environment and to view the world from multiple perspectives with an awareness of God in their lives guided by the virtues taught by our College Patron, St Thomas Aquinas, and our College values - spirituality, belonging, perseverance, compassion, stewardship and justice. We closely connect pastoral care to learning as students who feel safe at school are inclined to learn more successfully and take greater advantage of school life and its many benefits.
We are accredited with the highly regarded Council of International Schools which has over seven hundred members across the world. At the same time we are committed to every student experiencing success in their personal learning and life development. We are proud of our expert staff, committed to enhancing the learning experience, encouraging differentiation and promoting individual resourcefulness. Our aim is to assist students to embrace and harness their unique gifts by providing a broad comprehensive curriculum in the Middle Years, with increasing opportunity to pursue specific areas of interest as students proceed to the Senior Years. Students seeking University entrance have access to a wide variety of subjects in the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), whereas those interested in exploring vocational pathways have the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) and a broad range of Vocational Education and Training (VET) certificates available.
At Aquinas we want every student to find opportunities to embrace their spirit and “discover their place” in a welcoming and supportive community.
