St Thomas More College

For over 40 years, St Thomas More College has provided secondary school education to students in Sunnybank and surrounding suburbs. Upon further viewing, you will discover how the College fosters in all students:

• A commitment to our Christian faith through engagement in our religious education curriculum, prayer, worship, retreats and social action.
• A commitment to learning through our extensive academic and vocational curriculum offerings, student support services, an integrated learning framework and ongoing teacher development.
• A sense of community through strong connection between staff, students and families, our Pastoral Care Program, and various co-curricular opportunities in arts, sport, music and culture.

St Thomas More College has established a reputation as an inclusive faith, learning community with a key focus on the pastoral care of all students. Thus, creating a strong platform that ensures the individual success of students post-secondary school. Our vision is the formation of sacramental people in a Catholic school. Our mission, inspired by Jesus, is to seek, grow and serve by:

• Developing faith so that we might better enter into the goodness of creation and the mysteries of life, death and resurrection.
• Actively learning through high quality educational experiences.
• Participating in community as members of the College family and as citizens of Queensland, Australia and the world.

This is reflected in our motto God's Servant First, which reminds all that every thought, word and deed should be informed by compassion and kindness, justice and peace, and love of God and one another.​ The whole-school approach aims to improve students' reading through the explicit teaching of literal, inferential and interpretive comprehension strategies. Strategic reading is a life skill, enabling our students to become self-regulated, active readers with a variety of strategies to help them comprehend. The College implements the 'Super 6' Reading Strategies as a school wide approach to enhance students' reading comprehension.
