Religious Education News 

This year, Catholic Education Week will be celebrated across the Archdiocese of Melbourne from Sunday 12 March to Sunday 19 March

This week we celebrate Catholic Education Week. This event is celebrated by 334 Catholic Schools across Melbourne! The theme for this year’s celebrations is ‘Forming lives of faith, hope and love in the light of Christ’.  Catholic education seeks to provide students with a high-quality education that is inspired by the example of Jesus Christ and fosters the development of the whole person.
