Â鶹APP

PACE Network

The PACE Network (Parents and Community Engagement) at Â鶹APP is an integral part of the College community and contributes to and supports a number of key initiatives. Joining PACE is a great way to meet like minded parents and play an important role in the life of the College. It is an opportunity for you to have a voice, gain an insight and offer support. 

PACE is an amalgamation of different community groups at Aquinas. Now, FOAM (Friends of Aquinas Music) the Parents and Friends Network, our Alumni and Community groups all sit under the one name. This will strengthen connections and increases the important sense of Community at Â鶹APP.

PACE meets once a month, with an option to join either face to face or online. 

When you join PACE you will: 
  • Meet like minded parents who want to be an integral part of the College community
  • Experience the satisfaction of actively being engaged with the life of the College
  • Offer your skills and experience to help support the College and its students
  • Contribute to College initiatives and opportunities
  • Welcome new families to the College
