Catholic Education Week 2024
Catholic Education Week provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the strengths and achievements of our 38 Catholic schools as well as the people who contribute to Catholic Education Tasmania’s ongoing success.Our theme for 2024 is ‘Joyful in Hope, Faithful in Prayer’ which embodies our commitment to upholding Catholic values while nurturing a spirit of optimism and resilience among our staff and students.
Catholic education has supported Tasmanian families for nearly 200 years. We are proud to be partners in Tasmania’s future; partners with governments, families, and Church communities in achieving shared educational goals for young Tasmanians. We work alongside our first nations people, towards a better future for all.
Recognising staff and supporters of Catholic Education Tasmania
Our 38 Catholic schools across Tasmania teach a life lived in the love of God and in the Christian service of others has purpose and meaning.
It is this service of others from staff, friends, and supporters of Catholic Education Tasmania that we recognise and celebrate during Catholic Education Week. These three awards are presented to those within our community who have made a significant contribution to Catholic Education in a variety of different ways.
We celebrate those within our community who have dedicated their careers to supporting students in Catholic education across Australia through our 25 Years of Service Awards.
