PACE Network

The PACE Network (Parents and Community Engagement) at ÎÛÎÛÂþ»­ is an integral part of the College community and contributes to and supports a number of key initiatives. Joining PACE is a great way to meet like minded parents and play an important role in the life of the College. It is an opportunity for you to have a voice, gain an insight and offer support. 

PACE is an amalgamation of different community groups at Aquinas. Now, FOAM (Friends of Aquinas Music) the Parents and Friends Network, our Alumni and Community groups all sit under the one name. This will strengthen connections and increases the important sense of Community at ÎÛÎÛÂþ»­.
