Catholic Education Week is being celebrated in South Australia from May 15-21 2023 (Week 3, Term 2).
Catholic schools in South Australia offer SO much - and each is extraordinary in its own way.
Catholic Education Week is an annual opportunity to celebrate the excellent teaching and learning that happens in Catholic schools every day and reflect on what makes our schools so special.
In 2023, the week has a particular focus on highlighting the individual things that each community loves about their school.
Via a series of social media posts, schools will encourage their communities – parents, students, staff and alumni – to comment and post about the reasons they ‘#LoveMyCatholicSchool’ to help tell the story of why our schools are so loved.
Schools across SA will also hold events to celebrate the things they love about their school in their own unique ways.
Catholic schools in the Diocese of Port Pirie have a shared ‘Called to Community’ theme in 2023. During Catholic Education Week, schools will engage in prayer and social justice actions that build on welcoming others into their school communities, and that reflect the virtues of compassion and kindness.
The annual Catholic Education Awards will be held on Thursday May 18 in conjunction with Catholic Education Week.
The Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements and contributions to Catholic education by staff and volunteers throughout South Australian Catholic schools and Catholic Education Offices within the Archdiocese of Adelaide and the Diocese and of Port Pirie.
The award categories are:
Details of past award recipients and more about the awards can be found here.
