The nature of the Padua College learning environment sees students supporting each other across a range of endeavours, understanding and experiencing that they are stronger together.
In an environment that supports self-worth and individuality, every Padua student is known and understood, and there is an explicit culture of acceptance, valuing excellence and personal endeavours, and community outreach.
Learning is student-centred and the College’s expert teaching team supports students to become self-aware, engaged learners, and creates opportunities for students to contribute to the community.
Senior students in Years 10 to 12 have opportunities to personalise their senior learning pathway, supported by a targeted mentoring program that ensures students have the connections and partnerships they need to achieve their best. Senior pathways are unique to students’ individual aspirations, strengths and passions; whether they be academic, creative, sporting, vocational, or a combination of these areas.
As the only school in Australia under the care of the Franciscan Friars, Padua College has been guided by the teaching of St Francis of Assisi for the past 68 years. This strength of community is transformational; an education at Padua develops young boys with promise into Good Men of Padua College.
At Padua, we have an unwavering commitment to educating, developing and understanding ‘the whole boy’. We have created an environment of creativity, curiosity and critical thinking, enabling each and every Padua student to be the best they can be.
Our learners are inspired to continuously improve, discover new knowledge and skills, and ultimately to develop the wisdom to act justly and confidently.
In partnership with families and the Paduan community, we develop young men with a quiet strength – along with high expectations for personal endeavours and learning success – which enables them to achieve, grow and transform the community.
