You’ll find all this and more at a Catholic school.
As part of the Catholic Education Diocese of Wollongong system, each of our Catholic schools is committed to improving faith, learning, and wellbeing outcomes for the students in their care. Together, we're guided by our strategic plan, Lighting The Way, which describes what we want to achieve, how we'll do it, and what success will look like.
Our focus areas
Lighting The Way was developed after an extensive co-creation process involving nearly 3,000 students, staff, clergy, school families, and external partners. In its five focus areas, the plan describes where we are focusing our collective efforts and energy to drive improvement for students and school communities.
Engaging students and staff in the beauty and depth of the Catholic faith through effective methods of formation, both old and new, that speak to the contemporary experience of believers and those searching for faith and meaning.
Ensuring the holistic growth of students is optimised by taking an integrated approach to learning and wellbeing, including proactively supporting students to build resilience, confidence, and self-efficacy.
Improving accessibility, communication, and the experience at key transition points so all students and families, especially those who have experienced disadvantage, vulnerability, or marginalisation, have the opportunity to feel a sense of belonging in their school community.
Defining the scope of contemporary teaching, and coordinate system efforts to ensure teachers are supported to focus on the work that directly drives student outcomes.
Developing plans and taking proactive action to position our system of Catholic schools to respond effectively to contemporary challenges and shape the future in the interests of our students.
We know the best way to realise our mission is for schools to lead the improvement process, with enough time, resources, and support to achieve real and lasting results. That's why we've adopted a strategy built on the principles of 'connected autonomy'.
