18.01.2022 Augustine Academy has begun the big move to our piece of paradise in Tumut. We hired a truck on the weekend and moved most of the library and other important things... In 2020, were looking to add to our team of staff members. If you find the rural life attractive, and the opportunity to inspire young people to love truth, goodness and beauty, then apply now with the following link: https://forms.gle/VPdfwMEq2fN61zEk6

14.01.2022 "There is a strange idea abroad that in every subject the ancient books should be read only by the professionals, and that the amateur should content himself with the modern books. Thus I have found as a tutor in English Literature that if the average student wants to find out something about Platonism, the very last thing he thinks of doing is to take a translation of Plato off the library shelf and read the Symposium. He would rather read some dreary modern book ten times a...s long, all about "isms" and influences and only once in twelve pages telling him what Plato actually said. The error is rather an amiable one, for it springs from humility. The student is half afraid to meet one of the great philosophers face to face. He feels himself inadequate and thinks he will not understand him. But if he only knew, the great man, just because of his greatness, is much more intelligible than his modern commentator. The simplest student will be able to understand, if not all, yet a very great deal of what Plato said; but hardly anyone can understand some modern books on Platonism. It has always therefore been one of my main endeavours as a teacher to persuade the young that firsthand knowledge is not only more worth acquiring than secondhand knowledge, but is usually much easier and more delightful to acquire." - C.S. Lewis Introduction to Athanasius' work 'On the Incarnation'

09.01.2022 We are very excited to announce that as of January 2020, Augustine Academy will be moving to a beautiful new permanent property in Tumut, New South Wales. Complete with lush Elm trees, National Park surrounds, a chapel, and the Snowy River running through its centre... its pretty much the promised land. Heres a little taste of the future Academy home..
