Catholic Schools Week

Catholic Schools Week

Catholic Schools Week is held annually on the last week of January. There is also a November Movement. The Catholic Schools Week is a week in which the school liaises with its local parish church for organised events to celebrate the rich traditions and the incredible value of Catholic education on both a local and national level.
A theme is given for the week to allow for focus on certain areas. Previous themes included “Called to be a Family of Families”, “Learning with Pope Francis to Care for our Common Home”, “Places of Faith and Learning” and “Sharing the Good News”.
