Aquinas College is one of Western Australia’s oldest Catholic boys’ schools, with a history dating back to 1894. Located on a 60 hectare peninsula along the Canning River in Salter Point, Perth, the College educates approximately 1,380 students from Pre-kindergarten to Year 12 and operates the largest boarding program in Western Australia, with more than 200 boarders from Year 7 onwards.
