Blackfriars Priory School is a Catholic School for boys (Early Learning to Year 12) located in Adelaide South Australia, delivering excellence in boys' education since 1953. Blackfriars is situated on the fringe of the Adelaide Central Business District and adjacent to an expanse of parks, Adelaide Aquatic Centre and ovals. Our school life is built upon the Four Dominican Pillars of: Prayer, Study, Community and Service. Our philosophy is to educate boys in the pursuit of truth ‘Veritas’, through a life of contemplation and action. Our Dominican charism commands us to recognise and accept the difference in ability and gifts of each student and differentiate learning and teaching appropriately. We synthesise faith and reason; recognising the signs of the times, so as to inspire boys to become fully human and reach their potential as balanced, humble men, who have a deep love for the world in which they live. The Blackfriars curriculum is founded on the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority Framework (ACARA) and integrates our Dominican ethos, ensuring Catholic values inspire every student as they strive for academic success. Our highly skilled and committed teachers embrace new technologies and learning and teaching methodologies to optimise individual student development to become life-long learners and achievers.
