"The Catholic school participates in the evangelising mission of the Church and is the privileged environment in which Christian education is carried out. In this way, 'Catholic schools are at once places of evangelisation, of complete formation, of inculturation, of apprenticeship in a lively dialogue between young people of different religions and social backgrounds.'”
Sacred Congregation for Catholic Education, (1997) The Catholic School on the Threshold of the Third Millennium n 11
In order to fulfil this mandate, the Catholic Schools Office in the Diocese of Wagga Wagga:
-
uses Sharing Our Story as the Religious Education syllabus for its schools (K- 12)
-
requires all teachers of Religious Education to be accredited for this mission
-
affirms parents in their role as the primary educators of their children
Blessed Mary MacKillop is patron of the Diocese of Wagga Wagga. Her deep concern for the poor and her lifelong committment to their education is an inspiration to all.
"Little did either of us then dream of what was to spring from so small a beginning." Mary MacKillop to Mons Kirby, May 1873.
"Never see a need without trying to do something about it." Mary MacKillop
