As a Catholic school in the Augustinian tradition, we are committed to educating our students to become men who value and nurture their faith long after they leave the College. Students are challenged to appreciate their responsibility to the local and global community through a commitment to the Gospel values of social justice and compassion for the needs of others. These values are developed through an extensive Mass, Liturgy and Retreat schedule.
The College motto, 'Truth Conquers', is based on the phrase from Augustine's writings 'nothing conquers except truth and the victory of truth is love’. Truth is true knowledge, not ignorance. Truth is living justly, not according to false values. Ultimately, it is God who is both Truth and Love. An Augustinian education seeks a balance in learning between different kinds of subjects be they humanities or sciences, career-oriented or focused on spiritual, personal and interpersonal growth.
Jonathan Byrne joined St Augustine’s College in 2017, following senior leadership positions across a variety of schools in Sydney. He holds a Masters of Educational Teacher Professional Learning from University of NSW, a Masters Educational Leadership from Australian Catholic University, and a Diploma of Education and Bachelor of Arts Politics and History from Macquarie University.
Along with being a respected educator who maintains a regular teaching load, Jonathan also has a strong background in business, technology, management, governance, and administration.
Jonathan brings to the College energy, innovative ideas based on educational theory and practice, and a commitment to personal growth. He oversees a culture of achievement and high academic expectations, and believes that all boys can achieve significant success, no matter what their chosen pathway.
"Like Saint Augustine, the College accompanies young men on their journey to becoming good men. Young men who will move into the world self-assured and can act with a strength of character, intellect and a generosity of spirit. Modern men who can act and lead others.
I invite you to become familiar with the Augustinian story, and to meet our staff and students by joining us on a tour or at the College’s Open Day."
