As we head towards 2027, Catholic Education South Australia has renewed strategies aimed at expanding our horizons and deepening practices.
Our strategies are grounded in our Mission, Vision, Values and Purpose and will help us to continue to shape thriving people, capable learners and leaders for the world God desires, and contribute to a more socially just, equitable and hope-filled future.
Animated by our Catholic faith and in partnership with families, our schools are communities which create opportunities for encountering life to the full – in all its personal, religious, political, ecological and cultural richness.
We create an educational environment which matters to students and their families and which resonates culturally and deeply for them. In each learning area, across the whole life of the school, and in partnership with families, each of us discovers in the Spirit, the love of God which is revealed in Jesus Christ, proclaimed by the Church, presented in the scriptures, celebrated in the sacraments and lived by all people of good will.
We value:
