Template:Infobox Aust school private

Aquinas College, informally known as Aquinas or The AC[d], is an independent school for boys situated in Salter Point, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. The school is a member of the Public Schools Association and the Junior School Heads Association of Australia. It is a Catholic college which traces its origins back to 1894, when it was named Christian Brothers College[c] and was located in the centre of Perth at the present-day site of the Duxton Hotel.

In 1937, Christian Brothers College split; with boarders and some day boys going to the newly established Aquinas College, and the remainder eventually moving to Trinity College. Aquinas College is named after Saint Thomas Aquinas and is owned by the Christian Brothers.[1]

Since 1938, the college has been located on a 62 hectare (160 acre) property, with three kilometers (1.9 miles) of water frontage on the Canning River. The Salter Point campus consists of a high school for years 8-12 and a junior school for years 4-7, sporting grounds, and boarding facilities for 210 students.

History

Foundation

The main building at CBC Perth

The Christian Brothers opened their first school in Western Australia on 31 January 1894 on the corner of St Georges Terrace and Victoria Avenue in Perth, naming it Christian Brothers College Perth, although it was commonly referred to as CBC Terrace[c] in reference to the school being located on St George's Terrace.[2] The Brothers were invited to the colony by Bishop Matthew Gibney who knew of the work of the Brothers in Australia, Ireland and England.[3]

Initially at CBC Perth[c] only day pupils were enrolled, but due to population growth in Western Australia during the gold rush period, pressure was put on the school to accept boarding students.[4] The first boarding students were enrolled in June 1896.[5] The accommodation at the site was very limited and as early as 1917, headmaster Br. Paul Nunan saw the necessity of acquiring a property away from the city center to reside the whole school.[2]

College split

The brothers entered into negotiations for the purchase of 8 hectares (20 acres) at Point Heathcote on the Swan River, in 1928 they ended up purchasing 95 hectares (234 acres) on the Canning River just east of the Riverton Bridge naming it Clune Park.[6] However, plans to develop this site were shelved due to the Great Depression.[2]

The foundation stone of Aquinas College

In 1936 at the instigation of Br. Paul Keaney, the Superior of nearby Clontarf Orphanage, 62.4 hecatres (160 acres) were purchased from the Manning family at Mount Henry Peninsula on the Canning River.[7] Early in 1937 the work of clearing the grounds and preparing the site was taken up vigorously with squads of boys from the old college playing a major role.[3]

In 1937, CBC Perth split; with boarders and some day boys going to the newly established Aquinas College in Salter Point.[8] A nearby day and boarding school named St. Patricks, which was run by CBC Perth closed in 1937, with its boarders and some day students moving to Aquinas. The Aquinas College foundation stone was laid on 11 July, 1937, and the school opened in February 1938 with 160 boarders and 55 day pupils.[2] Br. C.P. Foley was the first headmaster.[9]

The Catholic Archbishop of Perth, Most Rev. Redmond Prendiville, addressed the first Headmaster, Br. Foley and students, on the 19 November, 1938:

With the proud traditions of St Georges Terrace to sustain it, and with the additional advantages of new quarters and ideal surroundings, I have no doubt that Aquinas College will achieve still greater results in the moral and intellectual training of good Catholics and good citizens.

The Edmund Rice Administration wing was built in 1937, the main wing was brick, in its early years the college made extensive use of wood frame, galvanized iron buildings for both dormitories and classrooms in order to cope with steadily growing numbers of pupils.[3]

Post split

Plaque commemorating the site of CBC Perth

In 1951, the college's premier oval, which is overlooked by the Edmund Rice Administration Wing was named Memorial Oval to commemorate Aquinians who lost their lives at war. A scoreboard was constructed on the oval and is named after Brother C. P. Foley the first headmaster of Aquinas.[10]

The first major classroom block was built in 1955, and named the 'Murphy Wing' in honour of Brother V. I. Murphy who was headmaster of the college from 1951 to 1956.[11]

The construction of the McKenna wing, which was named after Brother V. C. McKenna who was the deputy headmaster of the college from 1963 to 1966 was completed in 1962, which was soon followed by the junior school in 1963, the Chapel in 1966 and the completion of the main boarding wing in 1967.[12]

In 1975, the swimmming pool was constructed, it was one of the first 50 metre swimming pools to be constructed in schools. This was followed by the Redmond Learning centre (library) in 1976, which was named after Brother Redmond who was on staff at Aquinas for over 45 years.[4]

1980-2000

In 1980 the College embarked on a further expansion which saw the addition, between 1981 and 1983, of the senior classroom block, the manual arts building, the art center and finally, the gymnasium.[5]

Because of ever increasing pressure on enrolments in the school and the need to involve married and single lay staff in the care of boarders, the College built new boarding accommodation in 1986 and renovated buildings to provide needed classrooms.[2]

The Edmund Rice Administration Wing, the main administration wing

In 1987, the Aquinas College board was established with the responsibility for the day-to-day educational needs of the students - this area includes all teaching staff, the headmaster and the head of residential facilities.[13] The major responsibilities of the board include forming policy, planning future developments, and financial management.[14]

At its foundation all the college staff were Christian Brothers, gradually they have been replaced by lay-teachers, there are currently two brothers still teaching at the college. The college's first lay-headmaster, Mr. Robert J White replaced Br. Kevin Paull in the year 2000.[13]

Recent years

The college's main entrance was remodelled in 2003, with the capola from the original CBC building, as the focal point. The drive has five pillars with dates engraved in them that are significant in the college's history, and a large wall with large brick sections and smaller sections - which symbolise the highs and lows that the college has been through.[15]

In 2004, the Aquinas College Foundation was established, it exists under the auspices of the Christian Brothers, this unit is responsible for acquiring (through donations) and providing the funds necessary to operate, maintain and expand the school.[14] The Foundation operates independently from the Board to ensure a sound financial future for the College, however it does work collaboratively with the College to assist in achieving the College's vision.[13]

2006 saw the college embark on further expansion, with the Churack Pavilion being constructed on the banks of Memorial Oval and the school canteen being relocated to the rear of the Murphy wing.[16]

Former Christian Brothers Congregational Crest

Coat of arms

The Aquinas College coat of arms or College crest, is an adaptation of the former Christian Brothers congregational crest .[2]

The star and the Celtic cross are the central features, the star is the symbol of the light of knowledge and the Celtic cross signifies the College's Irish Catholic heritage.[5]

The cross is also symbolic of the Christian way of life; a literal translation of the Latin motto Veritas Vincit is Truth Conquers, which implies that people who seek the truth will be given the power and the means of overcoming all the challenges in living the Christian way of life. It also implies that the truth will always prevail over falsehood.[2]

Campus

Aquinas College (32°1′23.2″S 115°51′49.6″E / 32.023111°S 115.863778°E / -32.023111; 115.863778)[17] is located on a 62.4 hectare (160 acre) property with 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) of water frontage along the north bank of the Canning River.[18] The area falls within the Manning ward of the City of South Perth. All of the land belongs to the school which manages and funds the entire area - including the Mount Henry Peninsula.[19]

The campus is comprised of a number of buildings and sporting facilities necessary for the day to day educational needs of the students. Some of these buildings are of historical significance - including the Edmund Rice Administration Wing and the Chapel, which are listed with the Heritage Council of Western Australia.[20] Most of the buildings and sporting fields are named after significant people in the college's foundation and history.[10]

Mount Henry Peninsula is a land feature and reserve located 11 kilometers (7 miles) south of Perth, which is owned by the Christian Brothers as part of the Aquinas property. The region is recognised as a 'bush forever' site and is listed on the Register of the National Estate.[21]

The land is managed as a reserve with the Department of Environment and Conservation, Swan River Trust, National Heritage Trust and the City of South Perth for heritage conservation, education and passive recreation values.[1] The college works collaboratively with the Swan River Trust and the City of South Perth on projects relating to the Mount Henry Peninsula including the Mount Henry Peninsula management plan.[21]

Senior students are involved in environmental community service work with groups such as the Mount Henry Peninsula Conservation Group and Friends of Mount Henry to maintain the peninsula with such works as clearing, weeding and regeneration.[22]

Student life

Aquinas offers a comprehensive extracurricular program for students. The school also has boarding facilities for students who live in rural areas of Western Australia, as well as international students. The major components of the program are sports, music, the arts, and community service.[23]

Other extracurricular activities that the school runs includes the Solar Car Challenge, which is competed for at both State and National level. The college won the 1998 and 1999 state championship, and the 1996 National championship.[24]

Academic studies

The college offers a range of academic pursuits for students, and also gives awards such as academic colours, subject awards and the dux award, which are given at an annual presentation night.[25]

Aquinas awards several scholarships based on academic merit to students, but under agreed PSA rules no member schools may award sports scholarships. Entrance scholarships are based on the results of scholarship examinations. In year 8 the college offers seven scholarships based on scholarship examinations, these are known as the Br. Hall and Br. Redmond scholarships.[26]

In year 8 there is a scholarship open to sons of former alumni (Old Aquinians Assocation scholarship). To be considered, boys must follow the same criteria set out for the Br. Hall and Br. Redmond scholarships, although families demonstrating financial need will be given preference.[26]

The Stephen Court music scholarships are open to any boy entering year 8, they offer full remission of fees for students with outstanding musical ability. The Terry Bourke family scholarship is for students in years 11 and 12, and convers full tutition, once again families showing financial need are given preference.[26]

Students in the middle and senior school are given the opportunity to learn musical instruments during class time and may also join music groups such as the vocal ensemble, guitar ensemble, concert band, and the brass ensemble.[27] These groups occasionally go on tours - the most recent being the vocal ensemble's tour to New Zealand. The college drama program runs an annual production which is hosted in the college gymnasium. Recent productions include 'West Side Story' and 'Les Miserables'.[28]

Three-tier education system

The College is split into a three-tier education system comprising of; the junior school (years 4-7), middle school (years 8 and 9) and the senior school (years 10-12).[25] The junior school is located on the same site, but is completely separate from the middle and senior school.[27]

Junior school
Main article: Aquinas College Junior School
Junior school courtyard

In the 1960s, a junior school was built, encompassing years 4 through 7 in the Western Australian school system.[29] It was subsequently extended in 2001, and there are plans to extend the school to cover years 1 through 3 in the future.[30] The junior school runs a challenge program which is designed to promote independent learning and is available to all enrolled boys. In addition, programs offering tuition in music, art, drama, and dance are available.[31]

Aquinas College became a member of the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA) in 1958.[32] Students in the junior school participate in JSHAA Sport on Thursday afternoons, as well as sailing, softball and squash programs, which are not part of the JSHAA sporting competition.[33]

The college house system provides a vertical integration throughout the school giving the boys both role models and leadership opportunities. Spiritual growth and learning is facilitated by a range of activities offering spiritual learning within a Catholic context, such as religious formation classes, masses and retreats that are appropriate for students' developmental levels.[34] In 2006, the college started the year six outdoor learning experience in Dwellingup, this program is aimed at improving student's basic survival skills and promotes independence.[35]

The Monte Cassino program, an extension and enrichment program available to boys in years 6 and 7, was introduced in 2005.[36] The program is named after the monastery in Italy at which Saint Thomas Aquinas began his learning journey.[37]

Middle school

Aquinas College's middle school consists of years eight and nine. While the middle and senior schools are separate, students between the levels interact formally and socially.[38]

The Year 8 students have a structured curriculum that allows them to explore a breadth of subjects while Year 9 offers the students choices within the Curriculum Framework.[38]

The school's swimming pool

The house system provides the framework for pastoral care. Each student has a Tutor, who has the primary responsibility for the students in their care. The tutor meets with students each day in their tutor group. Tutors are supported by a house director and Dean of middle school.[29]

Spiritual growth and learning are facilitated by a range of activities offering spiritual learning within a Catholic context, such as religious formation classes, masses and retreats.[11]

The middle school offers a service learning program, which is an optional program where participants give up some of their own time for others as an introduction into the more formal senior school.[39]

Options in music, drama, media, debating, art and public speaking are made available to all students. Drama, art, and music are included as part of the Year 8 academic program, with students able to opt for these areas in year 9.[40]

The college facilitates a number of orchestras, bands, and choirs for students to participate in, and is in partnership with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra.[40]

Senior school

The senior school consists of year ten to twelve. The middle school mixes with the senior school however, the junior school does not mix with the middle school.[41]

Aquinas offers students a range of academic options in the senior school, with opportunities in tertiary study, and alternatives career pathways which involve post-secondary education or training such as INSTEP, which includes practical work experience.[41]

The pastoral care in the senior school is focused on the house system which supports the overall development of students in a nurturing environment and encourages students to become independent and life long learners.[41]

Students are also able to study the arts in both the academic curriculum and co-curricula. Other areas of possible study and involvement include music bands and orchestras, drama productions, public speaking and debating.[42]

Boarding

The Hughes Dining Hall which is regularly used by the boarders

When Aquinas opened in 1938, it started with 160 boarders, there are 216 boarders (2007). In 2007, international students were required to pay an extra $4903 in lieu of Government Subsidies and extra administration costs, which brought fees for international student at Aquinas to $29,435.[43]

All boarders live in one of the three boarding residences - Nunan, Gibney and Pinder Boor with their house masters, house mothers and boarding assistants.[44] Meals are served in the Hughes Dining Hall which is located in close proximity to all of the residences, and boarders have 24-hour access to medical services in the College's hospital.[44]

On weekends boarders will often do a variety of activities that staff arrange. They also use the nearby Canning River as well as Adventure World and Subiaco Oval. Boarders in years 10, 11 and 12 will also participate in sport on a Saturday morning. [35]

House system

File:House Shields.JPG
The crests of the 8 houses

Aquinas College has an eight-house system in both junior and senior school. Each house is named in honour of individuals who have had an association with the school including: Blessed Edmund Rice, founder of the Christian Brothers, William Bryan the first student enrolled at CBC Perth and later to become a Captain in the 1st AIF and Patrick Ambrose Treacy who established the first Christian Brothers community in Australia.[45]

Each house has one tutor group for each year, from 8 to 12. Each tutor group is overseen by a house tutor and head of house. The members of each house are led by the house captain.[11]

The eight houses compete against each other in events such as Athletics, Cross country, Swimming, Debating and Chess and points are awarded which go towards the "Tuatha Shield".[10]

The word "Tuatha" derives from the Gaelic language meaning family, community and a sense of belonging.[29] The Tuatha Shield therefore comprises a diversity of sporting, cultural, and academic activities that set in opposition house against house for points towards the Tuatha Shield.[11]

Sport

Main articles: Public Schools Association and Junior School Heads Association of Australia

Aquinas College, under its former name of Christian Brothers College, was a founding member of the Public Schools Association (PSA) in 1905.[b] Aquinas is the current (2007) 'host school' of the PSA. Today, Aquinas competes in inter-school sports within the PSA.[46] In 2006, the college appointed Mr. David Gault (current captain of the South Fremantle Football Club) as the college's new sports master. [47]

Redback spider - Aquinas' sporting logo

In 1910 and 1942, Aquinas won every PSA Sporting trophy available - the only school to have done so in any given year.[46] A range of non-PSA sports are available to students, including golf and surfing. The junior school also offers sailing, softball and squash programs outside the PSA sporting competition.[25]

In 2006, Aquinas won the basketball (fifth year running), cross country (second year running), volleyball (seventh year running), and water polo (4th year running). Aquinas has also been successful in a wide range of other sports, and has held the following trophies more times than any other school; Athletics (51), Football (52), Basketball (9), Cricket (26), Hockey (15), Head of the River rowing (36), Volleyball (7), and Waterpolo (11). [46]

Aquinas' major rival in the PSA is Trinity College, due to them once being the same school (Christian Brothers College). The sporting fixtures between the two schools have attracted a lot of attention, particularly at 1st XVIII Football, with crowds of up to 2,000 people attending what has become known as the "Christian Brothers Derby".[48]

Occasionally sporting tours are arranged for sporting teams. Recent tours include the Australian rules football and volleyball tours to Melbourne, the hockey tour to Malaysia, and the surfing tour to Réunion.[28]

Old Aquinians hockey club

The Mike Kinsella Hockey Pavillion (rear view) on the Kennedy playing fields

The Old Aquinians Hockey Club (OAHC), informally known as Reds was established by Alphonsus Scott in 1932.[49] The hockey playing fields were named Kennedy Ovals as a mark of appreciation for what the Kennedy family had done for Aquinas hockey. The OAHC officially opened a new pavilion in 1972, with extensions carried out in 1984. The pavilion was named the Mike Kinsella Club Rooms in October 1992.[27] It must be noted that it is not compulsory to be an Old Boy to become a member of the club, in fact a majority of its members have not yet finished school. The College and the OAHC are currently looking into building an astro-turf hockey pitch next to the Kennedy hockey fields.[30]

Community service

The service-learning program at Aquinas College was implemented in 1997, it calls students to make everyday at Aquinas a better day for others. The college's students were the first to participate in the Red Cross soup patrol, the Adult Migrant conversational English program, and the Kindred Family support program.[50] The college won Volunteering WA's difference award in 1998 and 2001 for innovative and outstanding service to the community. In 2002, the college became the first school in Australia to implement a graduate requirement of community service for senior students.[51]

Old Aquinians association

The Old Aquinians Association or 'Old Boys' is an incorporated organisation representing the former students of the college. The association exists to provide fellowship to former students, and to support the college - especially in the provision of scholarships and financial assistance to families in need. In most cases, the assistance is provided to sons or grandsons of Old Boys.[52]
