Thomas More College is an independent Roman Catholic co-educational secondary day school, located in the northern Adelaide suburb of Salisbury Downs, South Australia, Australia.

Overview

Established in 1979, the college is named in honour of Saint Thomas More, an English lawyer, polemicist, politician and martyr. Its motto, “God’s Servant first”, is derived from the saint's last words before he was executed.

The college's catchment area is the northern Adelaide Parishes of Salisbury, Elizabeth North, Elizabeth South, Gawler, Virginia and Para Hills.
