If you want to know about the real Aquinas, ask any of its students. They’ll tell of a place they love, somewhere that is like a family and that offers them security, belonging, academic care, and sensitive pastoral support. Most of all, they’re sure to speak to you about the friends they’ve made there, and the renowned Aquinian spirit that blends an achievement culture with core values of mutual respect, compassion and inclusion. Most students are from regional South Australia, and others from Adelaide itself, inter-State and overseas. 

You are welcome to contact the College at any time for a visit. Intending applicants are advised to do this in the first half of the year to avoid missing a place.

The only school in Australia founded by the Dominican friars, Blackfriars remains faithful to the search for truth – veritas – as lived and taught by Dominicans across the world for the past 800 years. This search follows authentically in the footsteps and foundations described by St Dominic himself, and by the school’s patron, St Albert the Great.

Since its establishment in 1953, Blackfriars has provided an inclusive and progressive educational environment where boys have every opportunity to find their way in the world.

The philosophy of Blackfriars is to educate in the pursuit of truth through a life of contemplation and action. We are a Christ-centred Eucharistic community, and this is reflected in all facets of our learning and teaching including an active prayer life and a passion for ministry, justice, peace, equality, religious education and pastoral care.

Our Dominican tradition commands us to recognise and accept the difference in ability and gifts of each student and differentiate learning and teaching appropriately. We synthesise faith and reason, recognising the signs of the times, so as to inspire boys to become fully human and reach their potential as balanced, humble men, who have a deep love for the world in which they live.

Blackfriars is situated on 4.5 hectares of land in Prospect, 3 kilometres from the centre of Adelaide and adjacent to the parks and ovals of the city’s northern parklands.
