For other schools/colleges of the named for St. Augustine, see St. Augustine High School (disambiguation).St Augustine's College is an Independent Roman Catholic School for approximately 1200 boys in Years 5 to Year 12. The distinctive ethos of the College is Augustinian. It was founded by the Order of St. Augustine. It is located in Brookvale, New South Wales, Australia and is situated directly opposite Brookvale Oval.
In 2016, the College celebrated its 60th Anniversary Year. On February 25, over 1200 students, Old Boys, past and present staff and members of our College community attended the 60th Anniversary Commemorative Mass at St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney. The Mass was celebrated by the Most Rev Peter A Comensoli Bishop of Broken Bay who officiated the Mass with the Most Rev Christopher Saunders, Bishop of Broome and Old Boy of the College, Class of 1967, Fr Dave Austin OSA, Prior Provincial. Augustinian Fathers concelebrated the Eucharist with Bishop Peter. Students were presented with a new 60 Years tie and lapel pin to wear at the Mass and for the rest of the year.
The College continues an Augustinian approach to learning among its students. It also aims to encourage the development of individual strengths and to prepare students for their adult lives, whether they go on to tertiary education or seek another path in life. The school places emphasis on community spirit as articulated in the Gospels and the writings of Augustine; and over its history students have been required to take part in community-based volunteer work during their time at the school.
The school is a member of the Independent Schools Association (ISA), a collection of independent Sydney schools grouped primarily for the purpose of sporting competition. Its brother school is Villanova College, located in Brisbane, Queensland.
