Each year, Catholic Education Week is guided by a scripture-based theme that reflects the mission and values of Catholic education. These thoughtfully chosen themes inspire and engage students and staff, helping to create a meaningful and memorable week of celebration.

Share your light, inspire others

CEW 2026 celebrations will centre around a new theme: Share your light, inspire others. Calling for students, staff and school communities to recognise their gifts and share them generously.

It captures both the personal and communal dimension of Catholic education: nurturing individual talents and faith, and inspiring others through service, compassion and example.

Shining stars, light and energy

The 2026 theme has a playful and vibrant design, featuring shining constellations, bursts of light, radiant rays, and a dynamic progression of colour.

These creative elements symbolise the powerful ripple effect that occurs when individuals recognise their unique gifts and share them generously with others.
