It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the first edition of The Lighthouse for 2022 and, in so doing, celebrate the commencement of another school year at Aquinas College. We commence the year with an enrolment of just over 1700 students including 19 students from St Mary’s College for the deaf. We also employ over 240 staff. Of course, we welcome most heartily all students new to Aquinas, especially those who join Aquinas for the first time in Year 7.
