Catholic Schools Open Week is back for 2025 – and it’s your invitation to explore what makes Catholic education such a meaningful choice for your child.
From 4–10 August, Catholic schools across South Australia will welcome families for tours, open days and special events – offering a firsthand look at how students are nurtured to learn, grow and flourish in vibrant, faith-filled communities.
Catholic Education South Australia (CESA) has welcomed the State Government’s decision to continue its funding commitment to non-government schools through to 2034, following the finalisation of the Better and Fairer Schools Agreement with the Federal Government.
