AC Community
Parents & Friends Association
Aquinas has launched a Parents and Friends Association (PFA). The aim is to create more opportunities for our community to connect with each other and foster a strong sense of belonging. This is a great opportunity for parents to get involved and have a positive impact on our college whānau. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected college community.

Pasifika Whānau Group
Aquinas is committed to strengthening engagement with its college community, including our Pasifika whānau. Through these connections, we seek to develop a community-supported learning environment and plan where all students can achieve personal excellence.
