The theme for 2024 is Experience the Spirit of Community.
Across Australia 805,000 students attend Catholic schools (this equates to 1 in 5 Australian students) where they are educated and looked after by over 109,00 dedicated teachers and support staff.
The Catholic Diocese of Bathurst provides a diverse range of educational opportunities to approximately 10,000 students in 33 schools, from primary schools in small rural communities to large secondary schools in the regional towns.
Our Catholic schools are welcoming communities which support parents as the first educators of their children. Parents look to our schools as nurturing communities where they understand their children will be safe and cared for, in an inclusive environment.
Our schools are communities of faith, part of the local parish community and working closely with that community to form the children in their care. This makes every school unique.
At the heart of Catholic education lies a commitment to nurturing the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Catholic schools in the Diocese of Bathurst nurture the potential of each child in a holistic, student-centred learning environment.
Our Catholic schools are affordable, inclusive, and quality learning communities.
- Mrs Christina Trimble, Executive Director of Schools, Catholic Education Diocese of Bathurst
Our schools are led by teachers who are expert educators and who are passionately committed to the learning and wellbeing of each student in their care.
These teachers challenge our young people to live out the message of Jesus and help them to develop the knowledge and skills which will enable them to reach their full potential as compassionate and contributing members of society.
Our Catholic schools are affordable, inclusive, and quality learning communities.
We warmly invite you to Experience the Spirit of Community in your local Catholic school.
Check your local Catholic school website and Facebook page for the dates of open days and meetings with the principal, or visit our website www.bth.catholic.edu.au, to make an enrolment enquiry.
Mrs Christina Trimble, Executive Director of Schools, Catholic Education Diocese of Bathurst
