About school
Villanova College is a Catholic School for boys where education is the formation of the whole person within a faith community. Our staff, parents and students both past and present contribute their gifts and talents towards the development of young men of Gospel values who seek the common good. Our community promotes life-long learning through continually challenging itself in the restless search for Truth. The work of the College relies upon rich partnerships between students and teachers, and teachers and parents. These beliefs and practises also extend to other members of the community including past students and parents. As an Augustinian school, Villanova College is part of an international network of schools and universities. The cross-cultural exchange of ideas and friendships among staff and students from various countries enriches College life for all. The College motto, Vincit Veritas (“Truth Conquers”), has been followed since the school’s formation and reflects St Augustine’s writings: “Nothing conquers except truth and the victory of truth is love.” Ultimately, our lives need to be based on truth. Truth is pure knowledge, not ignorance. Truth is living rightly, not according to false values. And it is God who is both truth and love. In upholding this faith and tradition, an Augustinian education also seeks a balance in learning between different types of subjects, be they humanities or sciences, career oriented or spiritually focused, or personal or interpersonal growth.
