" /></p> 640<p>Dear Parents, Caregivers and Community members,</p> 641<p>Welcome to Aquinas College, the oldest co-educational Catholic College on the Gold Coast. With a renewed Vision and Mission and core values of faith, courage, compassion and belonging, Aquinas College offers a learning context that values the unique learning journey of each student.</p> 642<p>The College's origins date back to 1901, when the Sisters of Mercy opened Star of the Sea College on Marine Parade, Southport. Originally a co-educational school, it predominantly educated girls. Aquinas College Ashmore was founded by the Christian Brothers in 1964 for boys. The two colleges amalgamated in 1991, with Aquinas College becoming co-educational, operating as a Brisbane Catholic Education school.</p> 643<p>The College patron, St Thomas Aquinas, was an academic and a theologian. He is highly regarded as one of the great thinkers in the Catholic Church. The College community is inspired by Aquinas' famous quote 'Wonder is the Desire for Knowledge'. The College Vision and Mission draws from this wisdom, while incorporating the strong traditions of the Mercy and Edmund Rice charisms.<br /> 644<br /> 645Learning is central to the College Vision and is significant in the strategic direction of the College. The Aquinas Model of Pedagogy is inspired by the work of John Hattie and Visible Learning. Student agency in learning is prominent in classrooms, promoting learning and teaching that is enabling of students. The College Improvement Agenda has acknowledged pedagogy that builds teacher capacity to recognise students are most empowered when they know what they are learning and are able to assess their mastery.<br /> 646<br /> 647Aquinas is an inclusive school, valuing the uniqueness of learners. With multiple pathways, students have access to tertiary and vocational education, as well as school-based apprenticeships and work placements. The Illuminate Excellence Programs in Academia, Music, Rugby League and Netball provide diverse enrichment opportunities.<br /> 648<br /> 649The broad co-curricular offerings of the community provide for holistic learning with great opportunities in Social Justice, Culture and Sport. Aquinas students regularly engage in social justice initiatives to create awareness for those at the margins. There are broad cultural offerings in Music, Dance, Art and Drama. As a member of the Associated Gold Coast Colleges, the College promotes significant opportunities across a range of sports.<br /> 650<br /> 651Aquinas College is an aspirational community, creating opportunities for all learners in its rich Catholic context. Thank y
651ou for taking the time to engage with Aquinas.<br /> 652<br /> 653<strong>Marcus Richardson</strong><br /> 654Principal<em> </em></p> 655<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>FAITH | COURAGE | COMPASSION | BELONGING</strong></p> 656 657 658 </div> 659 </article> 660 </div> 661</section> 662<section class="container-fluid"> 663 <div class="row"> 664 <div class="col-12 p-0"> 665 666 </div> 667 </div> 668</section> 669 670</div> 671 672 </main> 673 <footer id="footer" class="d-print-none" role="contentinfo"> 674 <h2 class="sr-only">Site Information</h2> 675 <div id="footer-links" class="bg-footer padding-top-mid padding-bottom-mid"> 676 <div class="container"> 677 <div class="row justify-content-center"> 678 <div class="col-12 text-center"> 679 680 <h3>Aquinas College</h3> 681<p>Edmund Rice Drive, Ashmore QLD 4215<br /> 682ASHMORE</p> 683<p>Telephone: <a href="tel:(07) 5510 2888" aria-label="Phone number (07) 5510 2888">(07) 5510 2888</a> <br /> 684Email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]" aria-label="Email [email protected]">[email protected]</a><br /> 685Fax: (07) 5510 2899<br /> 686RTO number: 30216</p> 687<p><img src="/Images/UserUploadedImages/877/BCE_logo_mono%20A%20Bris%20Cath%20School_white.svg" alt="BCE logo" style="border: 0px solid; width: 370px; height: 49px;" /></p> 688<p><a href="https://www.bne.catholic.edu.au/about/legals/cookie-and-tracking-technologies/cookie-and-tracking-technologies ">Cookies</a> | <a href="https://www.bne.catholic.edu.au/about/legals/privacy-statement" target="_blank">Privacy<span class="sr-only"> (opens in new window)</span></a> | <a href="https://www.bne.catholic.edu.au/about/legals/copyright-statement" target="_blank">Copyright<span class="sr-only"> (opens in new window)</span></a> | <a href="https://www.bne.catholic.edu.au/about/legals/acceptable-use" target="_blank">Acceptable Use<span class="sr-only"> (opens in new window)</span></a></p> 689 690 691 </div> 692 </div> 693 </div> 694 </div> 695 <div id="footer-bottom" class="position-relative bg-section"> 696 <div class="container"> 697 <div class="row padding-top-mid"> 698 <div class="col-md-6 col-12 padding-bottom-mid d-flex flex-column justify-content-center"> 699 700 <p>Brisbane Catholic Education acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the Land and pays respects to Elders past, present and future.</p> 701 702 703 </div> 704 <div class="col-md-6 col-12 padding-bottom-mid d-flex justify-content-center justify-content-md-end"> 705 706 <img src="/Images/UserUploadedImages/900/bce-region-gold-coast.svg" width="195" alt="Brisbane Catholic Education - Gold Coast" style="border: 0px solid;" /> 707 708 709 </div> 710 </div> 711 </div> 712 <div class="back-to-top-btn"> 713 <p><a href="#page-content" class="btn btn-dark icon icon-only icon-thin icon-chevron-up">Go back to top of content</a></p> 714 </div> 715 </div> 716 </footer> 717 718 <div> <!-- Required elements which were missing (Added by CM to ensure masterpage integrity) --> 719 720 721 722 723 724</div>
