Nurturing Minds Beyond the Classroom

At Aquinas College Akure, student societies play a pivotal role in nurturing talents, building leadership skills, and enhancing character development beyond the classroom. These societies are platforms for creativity, self-expression, innovation, and collaboration, helping students become well-rounded individuals ready to thrive in a dynamic world.

Through these societies, Aquinas College builds not just scholars, but thinkers, creators, leaders, and custodians of values.

Key student societies include The Jet, The School Library, The Cultural Troupe, The Choral & Musical Group, and The Press.

The Jets Club

Junior Engineers and Technicians Society

The JETS Club at Aquinas College Akure is the cradle for tomorrow’s inventors, scientists, and engineers. It fosters critical thinking, creativity, and technical problem-solving skills through hands-on activities and innovative projects.

Renowned for its excellence, the club has won several prestigious awards in Science and Technology, both within Nigeria and on international platforms. Students are encouraged to explore, design, build, and present real-world solutions, making the JETS Club one of the most respected and result-driven student societies in the college.

It is more than a club; it is a movement of brilliant young minds shaping the future through scientific exploration.

The School Library

The School Library is stocked with books on topical issues and all Subjects and has an adequate sitting arrangement.

However, due to its small size, compared to the large students’ population and in order to be 21st Century compliant, the School has a new E-library where students can access information from all over the world.

There is a functional generator to power the E-library in case of public power failure.

The Cultural Troupe

The Cultural Troupe of Aquinas College Akure stands as a proud custodian of Nigeria’s rich and diverse heritage. Re-engineered and fully equipped with authentic costumes representing various ethnic groups across the nation, the troupe delivers captivating performances that preserve, promote, and celebrate traditional music, dance, and drama.

Renowned for excellence, the troupe has earned numerous awards and accolades both within Ondo State and beyond, performing at cultural festivals, school functions, and national events. It is not just a performance group, but a platform where students express identity, build confidence, and contribute to cultural continuity.

Through vibrant storytelling and rhythm, the Cultural Troupe keeps the spirit of tradition alive at Aquinas College.
