Welcome to St Thomas More College at the University of Western Australia

Choosing where to live while you study is about far more than finding a room. It is about finding a community where you can belong, grow, and thrive.

St Thomas More College is home to around 400 students, but what defines us is not our size. It is our culture. We are a diverse, close-knit community where students from Western Australia, across Australia, and around the world come together with a shared commitment to learning, service, and personal growth. Here, you will be known, supported, and challenged to be your best.

Our role is to create an environment where you can focus on what matters most. We take care of the practicalities, including meals, accommodation, and academic support, so you can immerse yourself fully in your studies and university life. Just as importantly, we place strong emphasis on wellbeing, respectful relationships, leadership, and community responsibility.

As you settle into College life, you will be encouraged to develop independence and a sense of purpose through leadership opportunities, personal development programs, employment pathways, and a vibrant social and sporting calendar. We believe that education extends well beyond the classroom, shaping not only what you know, but who you become.

I look forward to welcoming you to Tommy and to sharing with you a community where learning, faith, and belonging come together, and where your university experience can truly flourish.
