| Aquinas Diocesan Grammar School is a Catholic school community within which both staff and pupils work in the pursuit of all aspects of spiritual, educational and personal excellence. | |
Aquinas Diocesan Grammar School is a co-educational Catholic grammar school situated in the Ravenhill Road, Belfast, Northern Ireland. It teaches around 16 subjects. Its main education board of choice is CCEA, but the school also uses AQA and Edexcel for certain subjects. The school's motto is Veritas Liberabit which is Latin for "The truth will set you free." The school crest is a circle half surrounded by a 'mane' (representing the Evangelist Mark), and inside the circle in one half there is half of a bull (symbolising Luke), and the symbol of the Lamb and the Keys.
Aquinas was once an older building but in recent years a new, modern building has been constructed and the older one torn down.
A significant investment has been made in Promethean Activstudio Interactive Whiteboards and each one of the school's 44 teaching areas have been fitted with one. Each is operated through a computer/laptop. [2]
