Four Catholic schools across South Australia have been awarded $6.34 million in grants for capital works to improve learning spaces, increase opportunities for disadvantaged students and cater for more diverse learning needs.
The State Government grants — $6.34 million for Catholic schools and $6.38 million for independent schools — are for building projects to commence over the next year.
Introduced in 2018 to ensure all students have access to a first-class education, the latest funding under the scheme has been approved for four projects at Catholic schools and 103 smaller projects at independent schools.
Two Catholic schools in South Australia; Whitefriars Catholic School, Woodville Park and St Francis of Assisi College, Renmark have taken home awards for excellence in storytelling, raising awareness, and the performing arts for their performances as part of the 2024 National Wakakirri Story-Dance Festival.
Wakakirri is Australia’s largest performing arts event for schools with 180 schools from across the country taking part in 2024. Participating schools are inspired by the Wakakirri ethos ‘great stories inspire change’ to create and perform story-dances that reflect students’ thoughts, ideas and aspirations. This year’s theme was ‘Belonging’.
Catholic Education South Australia Executive Director, Dr. Neil McGoran, was in London yesterday attending the launch of The Commonwealth at 75, a commemorative publication celebrating 75 years of the Commonwealth. Held at the historic Westminster Abbey, the launch highlighted the achievements of leaders across the Commonwealth’s 56 member nations and marked King Charles III’s new role as Head of the Commonwealth.
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.
Intergenerational playgroups are truly something special — an experience that enriches the lives of both the young and the older members of our community. These playgroups are more than just a space for children to play; they are a vital platform for different generations to come together, share wisdom, and build meaningful relationships.
World Teachers Day, celebrated in Australia this year on October 25, offered a chance to thank all teachers with the ‘Hats Off’ theme, acknowledging the invaluable contributions they make to our communities.
As part of the annual World Teachers’ Day celebrations, Educators SA hosted a gala awards evening to recognise and celebrate the achievements of our state’s outstanding educators.
This year's Educators SA Awards ceremony was held at the Adelaide Oval and attended by more than 300 invited guests, with awards presented by Blair Boyer MP, Minister for Education, Training and Skills and Martin Westwell, Chief Executive of the Department for Education.
On Tuesday 1 October, Playgroup SA presented the Playgroup Excellence Awards at Government House, hosted by Her Excellency the Honourable Frances Adamson AC, as part of their 50th year celebrations.
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.
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.
Simple changes to the parish-school relationship have created greater community understanding
From little things, big things grow. For St John the Baptist School, the saying couldn’t be more apt.
