Open Day AQUINAS COLLEGE IS BUILDING A BRIGHTER FUTURE The future for the students at Aquinas College is looking brighter than ever with significant building works underway, which will ultimately include a performing arts precinct housing fully equipped art rooms, a dance studio, and film and television facilities. In the meantime, the middle school area is being given a facelift with upgraded classrooms, and more room for the Years 8 and 9 students to sit and to play, and a new book hire facility and tuckshop are being built.

And while students will learn about planning for Schoolies Week, the aim of the program is for students to transfer the skills they have learnt to other important events. Read more...
