ST.

THOMAS AQUINAS COLLEGE

A TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC SCHOOL OF THE SOCIETY OF SAINT PIUS X

MISSION STATEMENT
The supreme law is the salvation of souls.
St Thomas Aquinas (STAC) seeks this end for her
collegians by striving to develop within them strong
character based upon the timeless teachings
of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

STAC seeks to develop this character by fostering a

profound knowledge and love of the traditional Catholic
Faith
in an atmosphere of discipline motivated by fraternal
charity.

This knowledge and love of the Faith is fostered

by love of the liturgy, the practice of traditional devotions
and love for the acquisition of knowledge
in a spirit of academic excellence
which will equip the collegian to become productive
members of our holy Mother the Church
and the society in which they live.

By these means STAC is committed to assisting the parents

associated with her work
of returning the souls of their children to God.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE COLLEGE

The supreme law is the salvation of souls.
This is the reason for the existence of STAC.
As a school of the Society of St Pius X (SSPX), STAC
seeks to assist the Order in this sublime task
by focusing on the education of children –
the Catholics of tomorrow.

The primary concern of STAC, then

is the welfare of the collegians.
Of paramount importance is their eternal welfare.
To effectively seek this eternal welfare
STAC strives to do the following:
a) Instil a profound love for the traditional Catholic Faith
by the following means:
1. Catechetical instruction to dispel ignorance
2. Fostering devotion to and the understanding of the
sacred liturgy of Holy Church.
3. Helping collegians to develop a well-balanced
spiritual life
through the practice of Catholic devotions.
b) Instil an understanding of one's responsibilities to
society at large
c) of setting a good example
that the light of Christ's social reign can shine forth.

STAC concerns herself also

with the temporal welfare of her collegians
by striving for excellence in all areas of education.
Through a breadth of general knowledge STAC seeks to
equip her collegians to enter the world strong in the faith,

able to enter that walk of life to which they are best suited
and to face the challenge of adapting to a world which is
changing at an ever increasing rate.

That they become productive members of their families,

communities (religious and civil)
and their countries
is the goal of STAC.

STAC seeks to assist parents in their God-given mission

of developing character in their children.
Realising that the family, as an imperfect society,
is not sufficient of itself to completely develop
in every child his God-given talents,
STAC strives to assist parents in this work by providing
instruction that will help the children
realise their full potential
thus avoiding the Gospel's condemnation
reserved for those who "bury" their talents.

The staff of STAC is committed to these goals.

Realising that "perfect schools are the result not so much
of good methods as of good teachers" (Pius XII),
STAC is committed to providing qualified staff members
dedicated to uphold the mission of the College.
Their friendly communication with parents
facilitated by their accessibility
makes the teaching staff a real help to parents
in the fulfilment of their sublime task.
