St Augustine's College - Sydney

ABOUT US

St Augustine’s College is a Catholic College for boys, teaching the Augustinian values of "Truth", "Love" and "Community".
The College began when the Provincial of the Augustinians, Fr Tom Hunt OSA, accepted the challenge to build a school on a vacant block of land in Broovale, on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. In 1956 the College opened its doors to its first 65 students.
Since then, our facilities have dramatically improved, our academic achievement continues to rise, and our student body has grown to approximately 1,200. We now have over 120 highly qualified teachers, who are experts in their field with a dedication to boys' education. We equip students with the skills and a sense of responsibility to make the world a better place. With care, compassion and understanding as our hallmark qualities, we guide the young men as they grow in their faith, finding purpose and meaning, by engaging them to make gospel values real in their lives.

A LEADER IN BOYS' EDUCATION

Contributing to our success is our innovative curriculum, structured specifically for boys. Fostering creativity and critical thinking is a natural part of our teaching, enhanced by integrated and sophisticated technology.
We know boys and shape their education in ways that fill them with a sense of purpose and success. We are aware of their differences, their academic capabilities and interests, as well as their challenges. We continuously explore opportunities to structure a more personalised, relevant curriculum that meets all of our boys' needs in the present, with the flexibility to adapt to change in the future.
Our College offers Northern Beaches families the opportunity to access world-class and award-winning facilities close to home.

OUR AUGUSTINIAN VALUES

The educational journey of our students is based on Catholic values delivered through the lens of our patron, Saint Augustine. Augustine was an early leading Father of the Church, and his inspired writings are still widely quoted today. He is renowned for his intellect, contribution to philosophy and theology, and his own personal struggles with finding truth. For Augustine, truth is Christ and the Gospel message of love. In Augustine's words, "Our hearts are restless until the rest in you".
Our College is truly blessed to have two Augustinian priests on staff to help and guide our Mission journey. Students regularly engage in Eucharist (Mass), Retreats and Prayer.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

As a comprehensive boys' school, the College has a culture of achievement.
An Augustinian education promotes achievement across all aspects of the curriculum and encourages students to pursue results commensurate with their ability. Students with natural curiousity and a willingness to learn flourish with a flexible and adaptive pedagogical style. Our curriculum continues to evolve and develop through the use of a higher order thinking framework. We seek excellence in teaching and learning with a commitment to curriculum, renewal and academic challenge.
Our academic success is achieved through a combination of student application, dedication and hard work and the significant support of families and our highly qualified, dedicated and expert teaching staff.

SPORT & CO-CURRICULAR

The task of the formation of the whole person lies at the heart of an Augustinian education.
A genuine participation in the Sport and Co-curricular Program is an integral element of a boy's schooling to enrich his educational journey at the College. We offer a diverse, inclusive and consistently successful program, accepting and catering for all needs.
We offer a variety of sports in both ISA (Independent Sporting Association) and local competitions. Our students are coached by a mix of experienced and passionate staff members alongside elite specialist coaches, many of whom have achieved great success in their own sporting careers.
Through our co-curricular program, students experience various activities that extend their critical thinking and creative flair. Our College offers an extensive suite of speciality spaces, providing opportunities for the students to perform and enhance their skills in music and drama.

STUDENT CARE & WELLBEING

Relationships sit at the heart of all learning. We value strong pastoral care alongside our academic program.
Our Augustinian core values are the foundation of our Student Wellbeing Program or Augustinian Wellbeing in Education (AWE) Program in which students build their social and emotional capacity through the PERMA model of positive education - positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning and accomplishment.
We offer several programs to foster positive relationships amongst students, including the Big Brother Reading program and the Year 6 Buddy program.
