“The person of each individual human being, in her or his material and spiritual needs, is at the heart of Christ’s teaching; this is why the promotion of the human person is the goal of the Catholic School” 

 -  John Paul II

McAuley Secondary students are always encouraged to be of service to their school, parish and local community.  This involvement develops the values, knowledge and skills necessary to undertake lifelong personal and spiritual growth. Each year the student’s efforts are recorded and each student who reaches the level of activities, for their year group, is presented with 'Spirit of Service Award' to celebrate their involvment. 

Students who have exceeded the number of activities for their year group during the year will be considered for the Secondary Catherine McAuley Award at the end of year Awards Ceremony. Each time a student assists at a school, parish or community event their pastoral teacher records this activity. Each child’s aim is to reach the same number of activities as they are in year groups. ie. Year 9 - nine different activities they have supported our school, parish or community during the year. 

Last year the prestigious Catherine McAuley Awards (Primary and Secondary) went to Montana Dean and Alexander Torio. Both students are pictured with Fr George.
