St. George's College

The Australian Student Christian Movement
The Australian Student Christian Movement is a Christian student group with an emphasis on being open, active, ecumenical and critical, and linked with the World Student Christian Federation.
The Catholic International Students and Friends is an informal group. Most live in the residential colleges or homes near UWA. Some are members of the choir that sings at St Thomas More College Saturday 5.15 pm mass. We meet irregularly and on ad hoc basis for minor social activities, prayer, etc. In 2007 some of us attend the Catholic Bible Study on Thursdays 7.30-8.30pm+ in St Thomas More, Begley Room. This year (June 30-31 2007) a group will go for a religious retreat in New Norcia Monastery.
St. Thomas More College
St Thomas More College aims to build a community based on clear religious, moral and academic principles. The College’s charter from the Archdiocese of Perth is to promote Catholic values, and to build a Catholic community. The College aims to provide a Catholic perspective to the tertiary enterprise at UWA. St. Thomas More College, however, continues to welcome non-Catholic Christians, and non-Christians. The college respects the faith traditions and beliefs of all its residents, and in turn expects a reciprocal respect from all its residents: Catholics, other Christians and non-Christians.
As a Catholic College, St. Thomas More College Chapel plays a central role in the life of both our resident students and the considerable number of locals who chose to worship with us on a regular basis. Mass is celebrated daily, in beautiful surroundings, lit by stained glass windows imported from Ireland when the college was founded in the 1950’s.
The UWA Catholic Society
The UWA Catholic Society is a Guild-affiliated, not-for-profit society that has been in existence for over 20 years. There is a strong element of tradition within the society and it has been enriched with hundreds of members over the years. The current UCS Committee consists of a highly motivated group of individuals who are working synergistically to reform the club and its events, expand the membership base, modernize the image of the society and cultivate our relationship with the wider university community. We aim to bring Catholicism back into the lives of young people. We hope that by our balance of social and spiritual activities we can foster this aim by making religion accessible, fresh and valuable.
The Society’s objectives include: to draw spirituality from the wealth of the Catholic heritage; to intellectually appraise contemporary Catholicism; to develop networks with societies of similar ilk; to host valuable and welcoming social interactions; to volunteer charitably to the benefit of the greater community; to foster social and cultural diversity; to maintain a connection with past student members in the form of an alumni, and to nurture the relationship of the Society between the Chaplaincy and Student Guild. The Society shall be dynamic and considerate of change.
