Once an Aquinian, always an Aquinian. 🖤❤️

It was wonderful to welcome 60 members of the Class of 2025 to their first reunion since graduation.

The young Old Aquinians were presented with the 2026 Annual and treated to a classic Mexican feast from the Boarding kitchen team who transported the food to the Bicton Palmyra RSL Hall for the occasion.

A highlight of the evening was the presentation of a Bursary Plaque by Aquinas College Foundation Chair Michael Prandy (Class of 1981) to the 2025 College Council Captains, recognising the funds they raised during their final year at the College. Their generosity is already changing lives, helping a Year 11 student access an Aquinas education and reflecting the enduring Edmund Rice values of compassion, justice and opportunity.

Graduates were also invited to attend this year's Old Aquinians' Association Dinner on Friday 21 August, where they will be officially welcomed into the alumni community. The evening will also celebrate the 90th birthday of Br Brian Clery, making it a special event for Old Aquinians of all generations. Tickets are available on the College website and are complimentary for members of the Class of 2025.

Here's to lifelong friendships, enduring connections and the beginning of the next chapter as Old Aquinians. We look forward to welcoming the Class of 2025 and celebrating this special milestone with Br Clery. 🎂

OAA London Reunion🇬🇧

Old Aquinians spanning more than six decades of Aquinas history came together in London for a memorable evening of connection and community a long way from home.

Hosted by Principal Rob Henderson during the final stop of his European tour, the gathering brought together 17 alumni to reconnect, expand their networks and share stories of life and careers in London.

It was a poignant reminder that wherever life takes our Old Aquinians, the support and camaraderie of Aquinas is never far away.

We thank everyone who attended and look forward to seeing even more Old Aquinians at future reunions.
