ENGAGING FAITH, MINDS and COMMUNITY

‘Send Out Your Light and Your Truth, Let Them Lead Me’ Ps 43:3

Our Catholic Schools Week commences on 6th May and during this week we celebrate Catholic Schools. The theme this year, ‘Engaging Faith, Minds and Community’, best describes the Catholic school experience. It illustrates our holistic approach to educating children to become adults who personify Catholic values and serve their communities. The theme highlights the faith-based nature of our school as well as emphasising our inclusiveness – that all are welcome.

The theme allows teachers and students to explore all of its aspects focussing on what makes our schools unique, in particular the richness of our Catholic school communities.

Our Catholic schools prioritise the three pillars of our theme in 2019:

Faith – placing Christ at the centre.

Minds – inspiring achievement and the fulfilment of each child’s potential.

Community – to become valuable, caring members of the school and extended community.

McAuley strives to embody these values every day, so it is fitting that they form the theme for celebrating Catholic education in 2019.
