The strategy commits CSBB to maintaining success achieved over the past five years in student learning, faith formation and building the capacity of staff.
The new strategy commits CSBB to establishing new secondary school options and will also introduce new initiatives in early years education and career pathways.
Prior to the formal announcement, staff and parents provided their reflections on the achievements of the Towards 2025 Strategy and outlined their aspirations for the future.
Highlights among this feedback included CSBB’s establishment of the Eileen O’Connor Schools for students with additional needs; the expansion of St Paul’s College Manly; and the establishment of a new Religious Education curriculum.
Addressing about 2000 CSBB staff, Bishop Randazzo thanked all for their professionalism and acknowledged the achievements under the Towards 2025 Strategy.
He invited them to embrace the strategy with confidence, noting it was bold, innovative and only possible because of the hard work of the highly professional CSBB team.
“Every step we have taken on the journey to date, we have taken together, as a community,” Bishop Randazzo said.
“We must never lose sight that we, the people of Catholic Schools Broken Bay, remain united as one system, working collaboratively with parishes and agencies in a shared mission: to form hearts and minds for the world, anchored in the love of Christ.
Director of Schools Danny Casey said CSBB plans to “go beyond” the traditional kindergarten to year 12 approach to schooling “without losing our laser-like focus on delivering the best possible academic and faith outcomes”.
“We will partner with parents from the early years of learning through to post school life as we shape the future and embrace the many new opportunities it presents for our students,” Mr Casey said.
