Special Character
The Special Character of Aquinas will be in evidence through:
- The Religious Education curriculum at all levels
- Prayer and suitable liturgies
- Signs and symbols
- The quality of relationships based on respect and honesty
- The six Touchstones described below:
| Prayer: | valuing and using prayer in its many forms |
| Truth: | a continual search for truth and integrity in our lives and relationships |
| Scholarship: | a determination to seek and attain excellence in all we do, realizing that hard work is necessary |
| Service: | a commitment to use our talents for the good of others (part of our Christian heritage). |
| Joy: | a positive outlook to others, and to our environment |
| Family: | at Aquinas, we enrol families, not just students. We believe students achieve best when family and college work closely together. We appreciate the involvement of families: supporting faith development at College and Parish liturgies, ensuring students wear their uniform with pride, visiting the College for Parent/Teacher Interviews. |
