Last week Catholic Education South Australia held two Graduation Ceremonies for Aboriginal students who, this year, completed their studies in a Catholic school.
At the first event, on Monday 23 September, 37 Aboriginal Year 12 students gathered at a Graduation Ceremony at the National Wine Centre, Adelaide, representing 15 Catholic schools. Year 11 students were also invited to attend the event as an opportunity to share in their peers’ achievements.
The Catholic Schools Music Festival (CSMF) has once again positioned itself as the ‘Grand Finale’ for the Term 3 school calendar.
Now in its 36th year, the Catholic Education SA festival brought together approximately 1,800 students from 83 metropolitan and regional Catholic schools from across South Australia to showcase their musical talents.
Nearly 500 children and young people in care are now benefiting from a generous scholarship program offered by Catholic schools.
The partnership between the Department for Child Protection (DCP) and Catholic Education SA (CESA) has grown from strength to strength since forming almost four years ago.
The scholarships allow children and young people in care to attend Catholic schools fee free. More than 100 students in care have been offered the scholarships this year alone, which also include uniforms, textbooks, excursions and extracurricular activities, each year for the duration of a student’s schooling.
Gleeson College has an enduring spirit that sees students return as teachers
Year 12 graduation. It’s a time when most teachers and staff say goodbye to students and send them out on their life’s journey.
But at Gleeson College, it’s not so much a goodbye but more of a “see you soon”.
Almost two centuries since its establishment in South Australia, Catholic education continues to grow
Alot has changed in the 180 years since Catholic education was established in South Australia but one thing remains the same – the original vision. That vision, outlined in 1844 by Bishop Francis Murphy, was to enable every child across the state to have access to high-quality Catholic education.
A new regional and remote strategy is supporting remote and regional South Australian children
Whether families call Brighton or Barmera home, Catholic Education South Australia (CESA) is focused on ensuring every child in the state has access to high-quality Catholic education, regardless of their location.
Students from Catholic schools across South Australia came together earlier this month for the annual CESA STEM MAD Showcase.
The Showcase was the culmination of months of work for 170 students in Years 3 to 12 across Catholic Education SA (CESA) schools who were given the opportunity to address real world issues and social injustices in order to create solutions which Makes A Difference (MAD).
The event was sponsored by the University of South Australia and hosted at their Mawson Lakes Campus on Friday August 2, bringing together 50 student teams from 30 Catholic schools.
This month CESA has been the proud host of a cross jurisdictional meeting dedicated to the National Certification of Highly Accomplished and Lead Teachers (HALT). The meeting hosted by Catholic Education SA brought together sector representatives from Queensland Catholic Education Commission, Catholic Education WA, Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools, Catholic Education Tasmania and Catholic Schools NSW.
