Padua College is the only school in Australia under the care of the Order of Friars Minor. Inspired by the teachings of St Francis, the Franciscan Friars established Padua College as a school to cater for boys from Years 5 to Year 12.
Over sixty-five years on, the College has grown to 1500 students, and while there have clearly been some educational changes over this time, we still hold our Franciscan heritage very close to our heart.
The College offers a holistic education, including an engaging religious formation and pastoral care program, an inclusive and comprehensive curriculum, many co-curricular opportunities and a developmental outdoor education program.
We inspire and engage our learning community by being leaders in boys’ education through a learning culture underpinned by self-efficacy and excellence. We deliver dynamic, innovative pedagogy in the three phases of learning from Year 5 through to Year 12.
