Padua College Old Boys

This October, we’re calling the Padua family home!

Fr Alban Mitchell ofm is credited with saying “there’s no such thing as an ex-Paduan”. Seventy years on, those words still capture something very special about our community.

Old Boys, past and current parents, former and current staff, Friars, grandparents, friends and supporters – if Padua has been part of your story, you are part of ours. And it’s time to come home!

Join us back on the Hill for PADUA 70 HOMECOMING – The Padua Family Reunion – a special evening to reconnect, reminisce and celebrate 70 years of the people, friendships and stories that make Padua, Padua.

Live music through the decades with Padua Old Boy Oscar Lowe
A walk through 70 years of Padua history
A short liturgy
Food and refreshments
And plenty of time to reconnect with old friends, colleagues and families

Who haven’t you seen for far too long? Tag them below, send them this invitation and make a night of it together.

For 70 years, our community has been writing the Padua story. Come and celebrate the chapters that have come before – and those still to be written.

Come home! You belong here.

Thursday 15 October | 5pm–8pm
Padua College, 80 Turner Road, Kedron

Our 2026 Padua Golf Day at Keperra Golf Club was a great success! Thank you to all Old Boys, current and former parents, College partners, and friends of Padua who attended. Events like these reflect our strong Franciscan values of community and connection. Keep an eye out for details about our 2027 Golf Day!

We congratulate William Moore (2025 Old Boy) who has been awarded the Queensland Department of Education 2025 TJ Ryan Merit Award. Awarded to a student who demonstrates outstanding leadership in their school and community, along with academic excellence in their final year of high school, the College's Senior Phase Team nominated Will for the award last year.

Will has returned to Padua this year as a Learning Nest Tutor to support our current students through their studies. We are Padua Proud and grateful for his continued support of the community and our Good Men.

We also congratulate Harris Andrews (2014 Old Boy), who has been selected in the 2026 All-Australian AFL Team. This is the fourth time Harris has been named in the team. Just as our Good Men are reminded when they compete for the Andrews-Cameron Cup each year, Harris' achievements demonstrate that through hard work and overcoming challenges, success can be achieved both on and off the field.

A Tradition Worth Sharing. A Community Worth Celebrating.
NOTE: NEW STARTING TIME FOR 1ST XIII GAME

As we commemorate 70 years of Padua College, we invite all Old Boys, current families, past families, staff, students and friends of Padua to join us this Saturday for our 2026 Gold V Gala, celebrating the great Rugby League tradition at Padua.

For generations, Rugby League has brought the Padua College community together, forging life-long friendships and creating memories that live on. Head to Banyo this Saturday to reconnect with old teammates, cheer on the next generation of Paduan players, and wear the brown and gold with pride.

We'd love to see plenty of brown and gold on the sidelines and, most importantly, plenty of familiar faces back at Padua. As always, we will have prizes for any Old Boys who come along wearing their old jerseys!
