We hope your time studying with us is enjoyable and stimulating. Our College began in 2001, teaching the Bachelor of Theology Degree for the Sydney College of Divinity, through a formal association with the Catholic Institute of Sydney. This brought together in Auckland the existing resources (personnel and libraries) of Holy Cross College and Mount Saint Mary’s College. From 2008 onwards the College has also offered a Graduate Diploma in Theology. Courses for both qualifications are available on-line. Theology and its related disciplines are taught and studied to attain a deeper understanding of divine revelation and the treasure of Christian wisdom handed down to us in the Catholic tradition. Our courses are designed to relate to the needs of contemporary men and women so that knowledge and faith may be integrated, and the dialogue of faith, reason and culture may be continued. Good Shepherd College has a special focus on providing education for those who are seminarians preparing for ordination to be priests in the Catholic Church. However, the College is concerned: - to prepare people for pastoral work in parishes and chaplaincies; - to enable teachers to develop their theological knowledge; and - to provide people with a deeper theological understanding of their faith. We hope that your educational experience at our College is enriching and useful.
