Saints, are so important because they are role-models, our models of faith. Saints intercede for us with God in heaven.

Our Patron Saint St Thomas Aquinas 

St. Thomas Aquinas | Trinity Stores

St Thomas Aquinas Primary School is named after the great Doctor of the Church, St Thomas Aquinas, who lived in the thirteenth century. St Thomas Aquinas is known primarily as a brilliant theologian and philosopher and is the patron saint of universities and scholars.

St Thomas Aquinas is an ambassador for education and serves as a wonderful role model for our children. He was also a man of the heart and humility. He was a great servant to his community and was generous and tireless in his efforts to help others.

 

Our House Saints

 

Throughout the school there are 4 House teams that the children belong to and the Patron Saint of each house inspires the children through prayer and example to work together in community to be the best they can be and the people God has created them to be. The year 6 children in each House plan, prepare and deliver an assembly about their Patron Saint to the whole school around their saints Feast Day. Each team  house captain and deputy house captain from Year 6. Their role involves representing their house in collecting trophies and being leading examples for their team.
