St John’s College is second to none in it’s character and Marist brotherhood. We pride ourselves on our sturdy Catholic faith in Gospel values. We use these values to guide ourselves and our actions in the shadow of Jesus. Our vision as students or as we like to call each other, “Brothers”, it to firmly re-establish the Marist charism and to guide people in the Catholic faith.
Aquinas College Joe Burke and Caitlin Milne, Head Students at Aquinas College.
To us the Catholic faith is the foundation that we base our decisions on. It also means being true to ourselves and not letting other people’s opinions change our beliefs. At Aquinas College we have six Touchstones: Joy, Scholarship, Service, Family, Truth and Prayer. These Touchstones derive from scripture and we endeavour to live our lives by upholding them, in everything we do. Although it can be testing at times in terms of keeping our faith strong, it’s comforting to know that God will always be there even through difficult times. We can find forgiveness in God and it means a lot to know that we can find inner peace through Him. Our school motto is ‘Hold fast to truth’; this motto reflects the virtues we uphold as Catholics. Joe and Caitlin, Aquinas College.
