What is Catholic Identity?
The mission of Catholic schools is to work for the development and education of young people, with careful attention to the progress of each student intellectually, socially, physically and spiritually. Catholic schools are fundamentally committed to the work of evangelisation entrusted to the Church by Jesus, who came “that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10).
The key learning area in Catholic schools is therefore Religious Education, which aims to promote and foster a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, by assisting students to experience and become familiar with the lived faith tradition of the Catholic community, in the context of contemporary Australian and global society.
