Catholic Education Western Australia has signed a new memorandum of understanding, “In Communion and Mission”, with the state’s bishops and eight other governing bodies of WA’s 163 Catholic schools.
The collaboration established through the agreement is a Catholic education first and will help to ensure a strong, united voice for Catholic education in the state.
It comes following extensive consultation in 2022 to reaffirm both cooperation and a united commitment to the delivery of a quality, Christ-centred and child-focused education for families who choose a Catholic school.
“In initiating this agreement, CEWA [Catholic Education Western Australia] hopes to build on the rich history and vision of the bishops of Western Australia, religious orders and laity to further a shared mission for Catholic education in Western Australia, ensuring our schools continue to offer educational choice for WA families who seek a Catholic education for their child,” said Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia chair Eva Skira.
“I am excited by the opportunity these closer ties present to our organisations. I look forward to working together and building on our strong partnership for the benefit of current and future generations of Catholic school students.”
