St Thomas More College, a Catholic secondary school administered by the Archdiocese of Brisbane and operated by Brisbane Catholic Education in the parish of Sunnybank, welcomes students from diverse religious backgrounds and expressions of faith. Our community is enriched by this diversity.
Religious education at our College is approached with the same rigor as other subjects, with a special focus on religious literacy. We offer numerous opportunities for students to explore their own religious experiences and embrace their spiritual journeys. We support our students as they consolidate their own faith while understanding the faith journeys of others.
Students can engage with their spirituality through both curriculum studies and co-curricular activities in daily College life. All community members are invited to participate in mass, prayer, meditation, liturgies, and other spiritual experiences to the extent they can. Our campus Chapel of St Thomas More serves as a place for gathering, prayer, and reflection, open to all community members.
Social Justice and Service Learning
Involvement in social justice and service learning initiatives is a core expression of the mission of Catholic schools, encouraging students to live out their faith through meaningful action. At the College, the emphasis is on adopting a Solidarity model in mission initiatives, focusing on working alongside marginalised communities in mutual partnership. This approach is reflected in the College’s involvement with organisations such as:
- Emmanuel City Mission
- Rosies
- Edmund Rice Camps
- St Vincent de Paul Vinnies
- Orange Sky Laundry
- Project Compassion
- Sunnybank Special School
As well as partnerships with the communities of Cherbourg and the Tiwi Islands. Through these opportunities, students engage directly with those in need, cultivating empathy, understanding, and a deeper commitment to addressing social injustices.
