Catholic Education Week

This week is Catholic Education Week which is an opportunity for all Catholic schools to celebrate and promote their distinctive mission and ethos. Catholic education strives to make a difference in the lives of those in our schools and in the wider community by challenging young people to live out the message of Jesus and to reach their full potential as compassionate, contributing, life-giving members of society.

As a faith-based education institution our College places the values of Jesus at our centre as we strive to provide a high quality, holistic education for our students, educating them to be well-informed, highly skilled and constructive members of the community. However, we recognise that we are not able to achieve this without the support of our community and we would like to take this opportunity during Catholic Education Week to thank all of our families and friends for their continued support.

Prayer for Catholic Education Week

God the Father
You are the Creator and life giver
You are our shield and our rock
May we be people who honour and respect others.
May we support and challenge each other.

God the Son You are the light of the world
You are our teacher and healer
May we be people who listen to and care for each other.
May we reach out to those who are excluded and treated unfairly.

God the Holy Spirit You are our helper and friend
You inspire us and guide us
May we be people who speak the truth and share our gifts.
May we make a difference in our school community.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord

Amen
