FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

TERM 1 WEEK 8


Dear families, 

The Catholic identity of our community intersects faith, life and culture to offer all students lifelong meaning and purpose. Our culture is strengthened when school, home and parish work in partnership to integrate faith, life and culture. These strategies offer schools faith experiences that are authentic, meaningful and explicitly grounded in the context of their lives, culture and the Catholic faith tradition. It is in this way that the identity of our school will be enhanced.

Every four years our community is invited to participate in the Enhancing Catholic School Identity survey. The survey invites schools to reflect deeply on their Catholic identity and the means by which it might be enhanced.

The analysis of the ECSI Standard Report offers a threefold measure:

  • the current Catholic identity of a school as perceived by members of its community 
  • attitudes towards a preferred or ideal future Catholic identity 
  • the readiness of the school community to move into action 

Our school would be most grateful if our families took 30 minutes to complete this survey.
