Catholic Education Week 

17 May - 24 May 2024

Our school, along with the 45 Catholic schools in the Diocese of Sale, will celebrate Catholic Education Week from 17 May to 24 May 2024.

 

The theme for this year’s celebrations is A New Dialogue of Love, Hope and Joy, inspired by the Scripture passage, ‘See, I am Making All Things New’ (Rev. 21:5).

 

This theme symbolises an optimistic and hope-filled perspective on the world and a renewed approach to fostering positive change. The theme emphasies the belief that transformation and renewal are possible in all aspects of life through individual choices.

 

By following the life and teachings of Jesus, and embracing principles of compassion, peace, goodness, and justice, individuals can contribute to a more hopeful and joyful world, sowing seeds of positivity and hope.

 

Through this theme, Catholic schools aim to inspire young people to reflect on the Christian message and to showcase their efforts in contributing to creating a better world.

The hope is for staff, students, families, and parishes to embrace this meaningful time and for schools to celebrate their distinctive mission and share features that are special about their schools. 

 

Liz O'Loughlin and Christy Roberts will be attending a Leadership Eucharist and Awards ceremony to celebrate and recognise outstanding service and excellence of staff and students in Catholic education in our Diocese during Catholic Education Week.

 

Our school will join together for a prayer service at St Laurence O'Toole Catholic Church, on Wednesday, May 22 2024 at 9:30 am.  We would for you to join us for this service if you are able.

 

If you would like to book a tour of our school and have a chat about the opportunities St Laurence O'Toole Primary School has to offer, with our Principal, Liz O'Loughlin, please reach out to us on 5662 2192 or via e-mail at office@stlleongatha.catholic.edu.au
