From the Leader of Faith and Mission

Diocesan Education Mass and Mission Expo
This week, representatives from Caroline Chisholm College had the privilege of attending the annual Diocesan Education Mass and Mission Expo. This special occasion brought together students, staff, and families from across the Diocese to celebrate the gift of Catholic education and to deepen our shared commitment to living out the mission of Jesus.
The Education Mass was a joyful and reverent celebration of our faith, reminding us that Christ is at the heart of all we do. It was a powerful expression of unity, as schools from across the Diocese gathered in prayer and thanksgiving.
Following the Mass, our students hosted a stand at the Mission Expo. With great pride and enthusiasm, they shared how our College community puts faith into action through a wide range of social justice initiatives.
It was inspiring to see our students speak so confidently about how Caroline’s Footsteps connects with the message of the Gospel and the values of our patron, Caroline Chisholm. They truly embodied our call to be the hands of Christ in the world, serving others with courage, compassion, and justice.
We also extend our gratitude to the parents who joined us on the day, representing our College community and supporting their daughters in such a meaningful way. Their presence highlighted the strong partnership between home, school, and parish that lies at the heart of Catholic education.
