While the College welcomes applications from non-Catholic families, it must be remembered that its first enrolment priority is to students from Catholic Parishes. It is important to note that Aquinas College has ten Priority Parishes that enrolment is prioritised by. Catholic families residing within these parish boundaries take precedence over any application placed from outside of these boundaries, even when those seeking enrolment from outside Parish boundaries are catholic. Our Enrolment Policy is available below.

Choosing the right school for your child is an important decision. Aquinas provides a range of opportunities for families to experience the College. Tours are generally held once a month starting at 9.30am and concluding at approximately 11.30am. They consist of a brief introduction by the College Principal or Deputy Principal followed by a tour of our facilities conducted by student ambassadors while classes are in progress.
Please note that tours tend to book out long before the date of the tour, so be sure to secure your place early. The week prior to your tour an email will be sent to confirm your attendance. Numbers on tours are kept low to ensure the informality of the occasion, therefore bookings are essential. Private tours are not available.

At Aquinas College, we believe that quality Catholic Education should be accessible to everyone. Our Bursary fund has been established to provide support and assistance, enabling all students the opportunity to thrive and succeed.
Inspired by Gospel values and mindful of our Catholic Identity, our VISION is to "Ignite the fire of learning - Illuminare et ardere. We are dedicated to opening the door to learning and education for all.
Bursaries are awarded based on a demonstrated means-tested inability to afford a Catholic Education. Academic ability is not a criterion for receiving a bursary; our focus is solely on financial need to ensure that all deserving students can access essential items such as textbooks and uniforms.
