CATHOLIC EDUCATION WEEK

Catholic Education Week will be celebrated in Catholic schools in Queensland from 25 – 31 July 2021.

This annual event is held to promote the special ethos of Catholic schools and to highlight the great things that take place in Catholic schools every day.

The theme for this year’s celebrations is: A Spirited Tomorrow.

Catholic education strives to make a difference in the lives of those in our schools and in the wider community by challenging young people to live out the message of Jesus and to reach their full potential as compassionate, contributing, life-giving members of society.

There are 309 Catholic schools in Queensland that educate around 154,000 students and employ more than 20,000 teachers and staff, and most will celebrate Catholic Education Week in some way.

To celebrate the launch of Catholic Education Week, mass will be celebrated in St Joseph’s Church at 8:30am on Sunday 25th July. Students and their families are invited to join in celebrating the liturgy and are asked to wear their formal school uniform. Students will be participating in readings and prayers, as well as the offertory procession.
