AC Community
Parents & Friends Association
Aquinas is in the process of forming 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.
If you are interested in joining please email admin@aquinas.school.nz.
Māori Whānau Group
Aquinas is committed to strengthening engagement with its college community, including our Māori whānau. Through these connections, we seek to develop a community-supported learning environment and plan where all students can achieve personal excellence.
Hui for the Māori whānau group are held each term. Contact Mikaere Smith (Māori-Pasifika Kaiarahi) at msmith@aquinas.school.nz
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.
Talanoa for the Pasifika whānau group are held each term. Contact Mikaere Smith (Māori-Pasifika Kaiarahi) at msmith@aquinas.school.nz.
We also have a very proactive student Cultural Committee led by our Student Executive and Year 13 members. All students are encouraged to join up and take part in planning fun learning activities.
