To celebrate Catholic Education Week, a series of videos has been produced with principals, parish priests and parents reflecting on the importance of working together for the benefit of their school communities.

The series celebrates the great work of over 1500 parent volunteers in School Advisory Councils across the Archdiocese of Melbourne. With an introduction by the Episcopal Vicar for Catholic Schools, these four videos are an encapsulation of what some priests, principals and parent members of School Advisory Councils believe it means to be part of a Catholic school.

Focusing on three themes: charism, encounter and working together in mission, these short videos are representative of the passion and goodness of those who work together in our schools to bring about the realisation of the mission of Jesus.

The films feature Ave Maria College, Aberfeldie, Padua College, Mornington, St Jude the Apostle School, Scoresby, St Mary’s School, Greensborough, St Paul’s School, Sunshine West, and St Roch’s School, Glen Iris. All four videos can be found on the Catholic Education Week website under Resources in the ‘Working together in mission’ tab.
