St Thomas More School
St Thomas More School was established in 1960 by the Sisters of Mercy, with Sr Immaculata Coffey as the first Principal and Sr Ruth Mullins as the first teacher. The Sisters of Mercy are dedicated to serving people who suffer from injustices related to poverty, sickness or lack of education.
Patron Saint - St Thomas More
One of the most respected figures in English history, Thomas More was a statesman, scholar and author. He was noted for his wit and also for his devotion to his religion. Thomas More was canonised by Pope Pius XI in 1935, and his feast day is celebrated on June 22nd. This is the day where we celebrate the life of St Thomas More whom our school is named after. He is certainly a great choice for our school, given that he was a man who spoke up for what he believed was right and just.
At St Thomas More School we create an innovative and contemporary educational environment which resonates with students and their families and leads to a love of lifelong learning. We seek to nurture people to take their place in the world as happy balanced and productive citizens by striving to build the capacity of our families. In partnership with our Parish we teach the Catholic faith and provide an invitation to encounter the love of God.
