A new theme calls for students, staff and school communities to recognise their gifts and share them generously.
Catholic education offers a high-quality, holistic education to one in every five young Queenslanders. The Celebrating Catholic Education in Queensland (CCEQ) initiative, highlights this distinctive approach to learning.
Each year, the host Diocese creates a variety of new class resources to help you plan a week full of activities for all grades and ages. A range of resources is now available to help schools celebrate Catholic Education Week and bring this year’s theme to life.
