Our schools and communities are increasingly diverse, reflecting different cultures, faiths, careers, incomes, and life experiences. In different ways, each person within our school communities can face barriers to feeling connected, known, respected and loved.
As a Catholic system, we have a particular commitment to including those who may face barriers to connection, including including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and families, students with disability, families with diverse compositions, languages or cultural backgrounds, and families with financial or social constraints
Guided by the example of Jesus—who taught that every person is inherently valuable and created in the image of God—we will identify and remove barriers to belonging so our schools are not just academic institutions, but vibrant, inclusive communities where everyone feels safe to share their unique gifts.
