St Thomas Aquinas Primary School is a Catholic co-educational Parish School that is committed to the development of each individual child, academically, socially, and spiritually.
The West Belconnen community loves St Thomas Aquinas PS for the warm, welcoming, small school environment, and being the heart of community events, fetes and weekend barbecues.
“The whole surrounding community stays connected,” says principal Leah Taylor. “Not just the kids.”
“We are now entering our third generation of families who have attended the school, where the grandparents attended St Thomas Aquinas, then the parents, then the children, which I believe speaks great volumes on how people still feel connected to our community.”
Enrolments for 2023 are open from Monday 3 to Friday 28 May. St Thomas Aquinas PS invites you along for a tour of the school, just in time to see the brand-new, state-of-the art Early Learning Centre (for children aged four), and the newly refurbished oval.
“We provide opportunities for our students to excel in a wide range of areas,” says Ms Taylor.
“Our Year 6 students have leadership opportunities available that range from running sporting events, getting involved in faith group, fundraising for missions, running digital media, and leading through hospitality, wherever their skills may lie.”
St Thomas Aquinas offers abundant opportunities for students to excel academically, including participating in nationwide competitions such as Tournament of the Minds and the Da Vinci Decathlon.
The school also works to provide all children with strong learning foundations.
“For our students who require additional support, we have small group and one-on-one intervention support programs.”
Students of all ages love the friendly, welcoming, and active teachers, who take the time to get to know each and every child.
St Thomas Aquinas is a part of Harvard University’s Caring Schools Network, which aims to make caring common.
“Teaching children about care and compassion for others is always a main focus of ours,” says Ms Taylor.
