They arrive at Padua as boys and we farewell them as magnificent young men, ready and willing to take their place in the world.

Mr Peter Elmore, Rector

A positive and enriching experience during school years is so important for setting a child up for a successful future, with a lifelong love of learning and friendships that will endure through adulthood.

Making the choice to join the Padua community marks the commencement of an extraordinary journey for your son and your entire family. We draw on more than 60 years of experience in educating young men and work every day with the Franciscan values of joy, courtesy, humility, simplicity and peace ever present in our minds.

Padua College offers a learning and social environment based on care and affirmation which supports our young men to develop their own talents and passions, and also to grow in self-worth, wisdom, quiet strength and personal character. We feel privileged to partner with parents in the education of their son.

We recognise that you will have many questions and we have developed various guides which we hope will assist you. However, you are very welcome to contact the College at any time if you need more information.

We are engaging, confident, spirited … We are Padua.
