In 2026, Padua College celebrates 70 years of the Good Man of Padua story – a story built on faith, community, and belonging.

That story has been shaped and told by the thousands of boys and families who have passed through these gates, the staff who have taught and supported those boys, and of course the Franciscan Friars who guide our mission to educate young men of wisdom, service and quiet strength
.
At Padua College, every student is known and understood, and students are inspired to discover and develop their unique talents and interests, to make an impact beyond the classroom. This student-centred approach leads to high levels of innovation and achievement across all fields. An education at Padua develops young boys with promise into Good Men of Padua College.
