Aquinas College, Adelaide

In this respect Adelaide had fallen behind the other capital cities, according to the master of St Mark's, Dr A. Grenfell Price.

The college, which was expected to cater for 50 students, opened in March 1950 with 20 enrolments.

Inter-college sporting contests began almost immediately, with the first cricket match being won by Aquinas.

[3] Its official opening took place on Sunday 30 September 1951, when Archbishop Beovich performed the blessing ceremony and Sir Mellis Napier, Chancellor of Adelaide University, declared the college officially open.

[5] Originally recruited from the Jesuits, from 2014 rectors of St Aquinas College were supplied by the Marist Brothers.
