One of the great strengths of St Thomas of Canterbury College is the enduring connection our Old Boys have with the College. For many, the journey doesn't end at graduation—it comes full circle.
Pictured are 12 members of our current staff who are proud Old Boys of St Thomas. Interestingly, there are another eight Old Boys on our staff who were unable to be in the photograph, meaning that 25% of our teaching and support staff are St Thomas Old Boys.
There is something truly special about seeing former students return to the place where their own journeys began. They understand the traditions, values and brotherhood that make St Thomas unique, and they are now helping to shape those same experiences for the next generation of young men.
As we celebrate our 65th Jubilee, we acknowledge and thank all of our Old Boys who continue to support the College in so many ways. Whether through teaching, coaching, mentoring, volunteering or simply remaining connected, your contribution strengthens the St Thomas brotherhood and ensures our legacy continues to thrive.
As the saying goes "Once a Saint, always a Saint".
