There is a strengthening link between the three Catholic Schools which serve our parishioners: Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Salesian College and St Anne’s. Regular contact is made between the students and staff of the schools. Last week, the teachers of Years 6 and 7 of the respective schools met for the benefit of our children. With the advent of the National Curriculum, on-going contact between the staff will be necessary.
The Principal of Salesian College, Mark Brochaus, attended our Parish Education Board last Wednesday and future initiatives between our three schools was discussed, especially in the area of professional development of our teachers. He also announced that the VCAL program at Salesian will continue despite some media reports.
St Anne’s has concluded the regular four-year review which all Catholic schools undertake to improve the education we offer our children. The review process takes about eight months and the external reviewer who was present in the school last week to meet staff, students and parents has been very impressed.
