"There are many advantages that come from attending a small school. Perhaps, most importantly, is the fact that the teaching staff really knows who you are and they have more time to demonstrate how much they care about your intellectual, physical and spiritual well-being. I always felt secure and confident while at STA. I knew that I was in a great environment because my teachers believed in me and they strove to ensure that my classmates and I would reach our potential. My teachers taught me that I was capable of more than I realized and I credit STA with my personal success".

"I came to Saint Thomas Aquinas in September 1984 straight from St. Edmund’s Elementary School. What I expected to be a difficult transition was made easy by the warm family atmosphere and welcoming spirit of both teachers and elder students. Throughout my five years at STA, I greatly appreciated and benefitted from the healthy balance between a serious academic atmosphere along with a wide variety of available extra- curricular activities made available for me to develop both intellectually and socially.. Being involved in the sports program, the table-tennis matches during lunch, the debating club, the ski trips, a few practical jokes and the variety of other programs made my high school years not only a lot of fun, but also formative in a very enjoyable and well rounded way.

The greatest blessing is that all this took place within the context of a believing community that lives the motto of St. Thomas Aquinas: “Direct me in Your truth.” After graduating one begins to appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into making a high school as successful as STA. What each student takes is what so many have lovingly put in. Even after one has left Saint Thomas Aquinas High School he continues to feel honoured that he was and remains part a loving and greatly supportive family".
