Welcome to our news page where you will find our fortnightly bulletin, Wednesday Witness to the Word.
Dear Colleague in Catholic Education,
Please find the final bulletin for this academic year.
The past year has once again presented significant challenges to you and your school communities to which you have responded with tremendous resolve, clear leadership and above all else, the compassion and love of Christ. I would like to thank you for your significant contributions that have ensured the children in your care have experienced a deep encounter with Christ, which in turn has nourished their human formation.
Last week we were delighted to be able to welcome over 58 guests to our Annual Celebration of Service to mark their significant contribution to the life of our Catholic Schools. Bishop John Sherrington celebrated Mass in the Cathedral, followed by a reception in the St Vincent’s Center, to give thanks for the dedicated service of these teachers, support staff and governors who together have provided over 760 years of service to our school communities.
A number of Headteacher’s are leaving, or have left in the past year. It is a privilege to be able to acknowledge their significant contribution to our flourishing school communities and in particular, the formation of the children in our schools. I would like to thank them all for their dedicated service and commitment and to the children and staff whom they have led. Our grateful thanks and best wishes go with them on the next stage of their journey.

On behalf of all the Education Service we wish you and all your school community a restful, peaceful and enjoyable summer break. Please make sure you take the time you need to rest and recuperate.

With best wishes for the peaceful a restful holiday you all thoroughly deserve,
