Expressions of Interest are sought from suitably qualified providers:

Catholic Education Tasmania seeks Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified and experienced providers to inspire creative and courageous initiatives for raising aspirations for students, staff and communities, and achieve excellence in learning and teaching animated by faith.

This is a new initiative driven by Catholic Education Tasmania to determine which interventions and experiences are most effective in improving the educational and well-being outcomes for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.

As part of the easing of restrictions in Tasmania under the COVID-19 response, Catholic Education Tasmania schools and colleges will begin a staged transition back to face-to-face learning for students during Term Two.

In alignment with the announcement from Premier Gutwein, on Monday 25 May 2020, all Kindergarten to Grade 6 students, and Year 11 and 12 students in Tasmanian Catholic schools will return to school for face-to-face learning.

It is expected that all Catholic school students will have returned to face-to-face learning by Tuesday 9 June 2020. Individual Catholic colleges may opt to welcome all of their Year 7-10 students back to face-to-face learning before 9 June. This phased approach has been developed in consultation with Education Minister Rockliff.  Your college will provide advice about the possibility of these arrangements.

Next week all families will receive further advice from their school communities regarding students returning to face-to-face learning.

Further to our earlier announcement regarding the extended closure of schools in the north west, we recognise that this may cause some additional stress for our students in Years 11 and 12. The Marist Regional College and St Brendan-Shaw College sites will remain closed next week, however the Colleges will provide online learning support to their Year 11 and 12 students in week one of Term Two. This will commence from Monday 27 April 2020.

Staff from both Marist Regional College and St Brendan-Shaw College will be in contact with families and students with further information on how the online learning support will be provided.

With COVID-19 related restrictions in the north west continuing into next week, Tasmanian Catholic schools in this region will be closed for week one of Term Two. Term Two in the north west will now commence from Monday 4 May 2020.

These restrictions also apply to students and school staff who live on the north west coast, but may attend an out of area school to learn or work.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those in the north west—particularly with our staff, students and their families—and we give our thanks for their perseverance through this difficult time.

There have been no changes to the arrangements for Tasmanian Catholic schools in the north and south.

We look forward to welcoming our students in the north and south back to learning from Monday 27 April 2020 as they engage in a wide range of opportunities: whether they are learning@home from home or learning@home under supervision at school.

All within Catholic Education Tasmania are extremely grateful for the support of our students and their families during these unprecedented times.

Though we may all face challenges in the times to come, we want you to know that we are here for you.
