"Here Comes Everybody"

The Ministry of the Catholic Church seeks to invite a personal relationship with God in three persons (Creator, Jesus and Holy Spirit); to nurture a community which sees its mission as the fulfilment of God’s reign on earth; and has a preferential option for the disadvantaged. As a particular ministry of the Roman Catholic Church, Catholic Education applies these three foundational values to our work. We help children to see themselves as created in the image of God by mirroring that sacredness through or interactions with them and our attentiveness to the processes which support their progress in Catholic schools. We foster Catholic school communities which are holy, respectful, fair, inter-connected, creative, energized and hopeful about a future filled with possibility and blessing. We are a Church which names itself as inclusive and universal, seeking to honour each person and to ensure that no one is disadvantaged by systemic processes, bias, wealth and personal attributes. In Special Education within a Catholic School, our success is defined not by the hundreds who benefit from our service but from the one; our success is defined not by the dollar saved but by the ways in which our resources responsibly support excellence for all; our work is not defined by personal effectiveness but rather by the ways in which our gifts, qualifications and expertise collectively serve students living with exceptionalities. In a Catholic school, “here comes everybody” welcomes every student - it is our ministry in Special Education to ensure that we support excellence for all students.
