Message From The Principal

At Villanova we have a vison of the graduate. The sensibilities, attitudes and actions of a young man who has walked the journey in the green and gold. This graduate is built inside and, importantly, beyond the classroom. He is formed through opportunity and relationships. As such, our students have access to a rich variety of cultural, sporting, and social justice programs. The graduate is the ‘whole person’, with College staff recognising the need to provide opportunities and challenges for students to develop their unique gifts and talents. Each Villanova student is asked to look inside themselves, explore new horizons that will challenge them to excel beyond expectation, and rise to that challenge with the help and support of their peers, parents, and faculty.

A distinct feature of our Augustinian values is the strong sense of welcome and community that unites staff, parents and students. We treasure open, friendly, and caring relationships between teachers and students. As an educator himself, St Augustine considered this an essential element for both good teaching and learning.

We teach boys about life and quality relationships, modelled to us by Jesus. We teach about the interior journey, spiritual reflections and choosing the right actions. We welcome people of all faiths and denominations to share our story of hope.

In this way we continue to forge our reputation as a Catholic college “striving for excellence in boys’ education as an Augustinian community, one in mind and heart on the way towards God.”
