Education

What is special about Catholic Education?

• Catholic schools aspire to create an open, happy, stimulating, and mutually respectful community environment.
• Worship of God through prayer and the celebration of liturgy and the sacraments, ‘the doors to the sacred’, belongs at the very centre of the Catholic school’s life.
• Catholic education is inspired by the Gospel and, as such, respects the freedom and dignity of every human being
• Education is ... the way in which the various overlapping communities ... initiate us into the richness of a shared life and heritage.
• We look forward to a fruitful dialogue about the best way of ensuring that our schools can develop in the coming decades.
