Principal’s Message
Welcome to Aquinas Catholic College Menai, a Year 7–12 co-educational Catholic school of approximately 1100 students.
We take pride in being an inclusive, faith community that welcomes and values students, families, and staff to our college. With Jesus as our role model, we embrace our core values of Wholeness, Hope, Justice, and Revelation as constant reminders of the journey we travel on, and the people we are striving to be.
History
Following the establishment of Holy Family Parish and Holy Family Primary School in 1986, Aquinas College opened in 1993 with 50 boys and girls in Year 7, seven teachers, and two ancillary staff. The first Year 12 class completed their HSC in 1998. The first stage of a five-stage building program included an administration building, TAS workshops, and classrooms.
Stages Two and Three of the building program were completed in 1996 and facilities included a library, science laboratories, classrooms, and staff facilities.
Mission
Aquinas Catholic College is a faith-based educational community centred on Jesus Christ, enlivened by the Gospels and with the model of St Thomas Aquinas as a faithful learner.
