Education is all about an ability to live out our lives as contented, virtuous and generous human beings. We believe at Saint Ignatius' College that the best and most fulfilling way to do this is as followers of Jesus Christ who is our model.

Education cannot take place in a vacuum however. The education offered at Saint Ignatius is based on the Jesuit traditions and is balanced in the academic line. It is not, nor can it be, a smorgasbord, where students pick and choose just the subjects they like.

Languages, a balance of the Humanities, Mathematics, the Sciences, Information Technology, Religious Studies, along with a strong Co-Curricular programme are all important if our students are to take their place in the modern world and offer some response to that which confronts human beings everywhere on the globe.

That our students have a happy experience at the College is in no small part, due to the range and style of education in which they are immersed during their time here.

"It is important to learn; but it is much more important to learn how to learn, to desire to go on learning through life. Our task is to help each student become an independent learner." The Characteristics of Jesuit Education, 1986
