Spirits 'doing a happy dance’ as new College officially opened

Six SA Catholic schools have been recognised by the Australian Curriculum Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) for the high gains achieved by students in their NAPLAN scores between 2019 and 2021.
Students in these schools who sat NAPLAN literacy or numeracy tests in 2019 and again in 2021 have shown increases in their scores that are significantly greater than both the national average gain and the gain by students from other similar schools.
9 students from 8 Catholic schools have represented Catholic Education SA at Teen Parliament 2022, sharing their bold ideas for enhancing the future of South Australia.
Four regional Catholic schools in South Australia have enjoyed their first weeks as expanded Reception to Year 8 schools.

The growth will see each school becoming Reception to Year 9 schools, with Year 9 added from 2023.

The South Australian Commission for Catholic Schools (SACCS) has launched a bold expansion strategy that will guide the work of Catholic Education South Australia from 2022 to 2027.

Today was an exciting day of firsts for Catholic Education South Australia!
103 Catholic schools across the State welcomed our biggest ever intake of students including 4000 new Receptions, two brand new schools opened their doors and four regional schools welcomed Year 8 for the first time.
Tomorrow is a big day. For us all. As your child starts their first day, either in the classroom or remotely, it is a big day for you all as a family. New classes, new teachers, new friends and of course, fresh new haircuts. It’s all a bit new. Adding the additional “new normal” with the added disruptions of COVID-19 may take it is toll on the family.
A message to staff, students and families ahead of the 2022 school year, from Dr Neil McGoran, Director Catholic Education South Australia.
