FOUNDATION
For more than a century, the generosity of our community has helped shape Aquinas College and the lives of countless young men. The Aquinas College Foundation continues that tradition by inspiring and stewarding philanthropy that creates life-changing opportunities through bursaries, enhances our campus and facilities, and ensures future generations of boys can flourish in an exceptional Edmund Rice education. Every gift, no matter its size, helps strengthen the future of Aquinas and exemplifies our enduring community spirit.
Annual Bursary Appeal
For many students, an Aquinas education opens the door to opportunity, connection and lifelong growth. Through the generosity of our donor community, bursaries ensure these opportunities remain accessible to students and families who may otherwise face financial or geographical challenges.
Year 9 student Abel White knows this impact firsthand.
Since 2017, each Leaving Class has funded a 50% bursary for a student to complete Years 11 and 12 at Aquinas College. The Peer Bursary Gift, inspired by our founder Edmund Rice, supports boys who couldn't otherwise afford an Aquinas education, creating a life-changing legacy. Recipients will show broad involvement in school and community, strong academic performance, and significant family need.
We're creating a purpose-built Centre for arts, performance, and excellence – the Aquinas Centre. A place where music, drama, storytelling, lectures and creative thinking will thrive. Where every boy can explore his identity, rise to his potential and perform with confidence. Your support is the difference between a good building and a remarkable one. There are many ways to get involved, from symbolic gestures like buying a brick or naming a seat, to family tributes and larger transformational gifts.
