Connected Catholic Communities Symposium | 14 August

About this event

How might we transform our work and the services we provide to our students, families and staff to ensure vibrant and flourishing communities?

In 2022, Catholic Schools NSW embarked upon a bold initiative to respond to the outcomes of the Australian Plenary Council which call on those responsible for Catholic education, including parents and parishes, to identify and respond to the diverse needs and distinct circumstances of Catholic schools in Australia today. 

This initiative is called Connected Catholic Communities. 

We have the rare opportunity to reimagine the work being done and services provided in schools, as well as strategic partnerships developed beyond the school gate, both now and into the future.

Every Catholic school is a sacrament of hope. 
Fr Timothy Radcliffe OP 

CSNSW invites all those interested in creating flourishing educational communities, including parent bodies, parishes, Catholic School Agencies and schools, social services, health providers and others to continue to engage in this important conversation throughout 2025.
