Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Armidale will celebrate Catholic Schools Week from the 26 May- 1 June. This event marks a time to celebrate the achievements of our school communities and acknowledge the people dedicated to providing quality learning and a nurturing environment for every student and staff member across our system of schools.
This year’s theme ‘Pray with Hope’ speaks to hope, celebration and renewal, as we look to the future of Catholic education, not only in our system but across the country. Catholic Schools Week will be launched at St Edward’s Primary Tamworth with staff from 3 primary schools attending before commencing a day of professional learning.
During Catholic Schools Week (CSW) the system will celebrate with 3 Deanery masses at Tamworth, Moree and Armidale, wrapping the week up with the Gary McSweeney Cup & Rugby Union Trials in Tamworth on Friday 31 May.
Director of Schools, Regina Menz, said “Our theme Pray with Hope resonates deeply with our Vision: ‘A Christ-centred inclusive learning community that supports young people to realise a hope-filled future.’ In embracing this theme, we acknowledge the power of hope as a driving force in shaping our lives and the lives of those around us, especially our young people. In this special week, I thank every member of our school and parish community, students, staff, clergy, and our families for the vital role you play in Catholic education in the Armidale Diocese.
Armidale Catholic Schools is grateful to their major supporter UniSuper. We thank them for their continued support that has enabled significant staff and student representation from the 24 Diocesan schools to attend these celebrations.
