• Chaplaincy: As a Jesuit school, the chaplaincy model is derived from the characteristics of a Jesuit education. It aims to set out in a systematic and comprehensive way the eight different areas which are: encounter with the person of Jesus Christ, Personal Philosophy of life, Prayer, Worship, Socia outreach, Leadership, Involvement in the life of the church and Pastoral Care. The educational process has one common goal: the formation of a balanced person with a personally developed philosophy of life.

Over 450 years ago, St Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, implored his companions to, ‘go forth and set the world on fire.’ at St Ignatius college we nurture and educate young men and women to prepare them to do just that. I delight in journeying with the students through all their walks of life to help them unleash their full potential to do and be more (MAGIS)
