Old Aquinians' Association (OAA)

The Old Aquinians' Association (OAA) is a group of past College students who work to connect alumni and the College.

First founded in 1938, the association plays an important role within the Aquinas community - preserving relationships, contributing to College life and infrastructure and guiding and assisting current and recently graduated students. In a further effort to give back, the OAA support a bursary each year, allowing an underprivileged student the opportunity to attend Aquinas College.

Alongside the College, the OAA conduct a schedule of reunions, networking and social events throughout the year.
