“Welcome to Aquinas College.”

Matt Dalton Principal

We are proud to be a Catholic community of learners, living our motto ‘Kia mau ki te pono’ (Hold fast to Truth). The special character of the College is the umbrella for all of our activities. We aim to develop young men and women who strive to be “the best that they can be” in academic, sporting and cultural pursuits.

We aim to be people with strong faith, deep spirituality and committed to the service of others.

Our touchstones of family/whānau, scholarship, service, truth, prayer and joy provide the everyday context for our college.

We celebrate the successes and achievements of our students and staff and look forward to you joining us and becoming a part of our community.

Special Character

Our Special Catholic Character is at the core of the Aquinas College curriculum. Aquinas College students learn about Jesus Christ through the lens of Catholic teaching and tradition. The special character of the College is experienced within school masses, liturgies, and service.
