A Word from the Director of Schools

We are confident that they bring skills and expertise that will inspire the hearts and minds of the students entrusted to their care. Read more about their passion and goals for their schools in the following pages.

We invite you to experience first-hand what it’s like to be part of our vibrant, faith filled school community. Our focus is on faith, learning and wellbeing for all, and our students are inspired to be the very best they can be. We encourage parents and families to visit our schools on the open days listed in this edition and find out why you should choose a Catholic school.

We welcomed back over 17,000 students and 2,500 staff, including over 170 new staff, across our 44 schools for the start of the 2023 school year

2022 was a year of growth and renewal as we focused on enhancing the quality of Catholic education through our Learning Improvement Program 7,200 hours of Collaborative Coaching for our staff was achieved last year, while we have made plans for 2023 to include over 170,000 hours of Contemporary Professional Learning.

In this edition of Broken Bay News we share a snapshot of our key priorities, our achievements to date and some of the exciting new initiatives that we will be undertaking this year. There are certainly many achievements to celebrate and much to look forward to!

At CSBB we recognise that each student is unique and we take inspiration from each and everyone. This month we share a story of courage by one of our senior students who overcame great obstacles to achieve success in his final exams. I am humbled to see our values of faith and courage being lived every day in our student community and hope you are inspired by our students as much as I am.

This year we welcomed four new Principals to our system of schools and we are delighted to introduce them to you in this edition of Broken Bay News. As Principals, they work to implement our Mission and Vision to provide authentic, professional Catholic education delivered with care and compassion.

Finally, in 2022 we introduced new roles at CSBB schools – Parent Engagement Coordinators. The focus of this role is to strengthen relationships between school, parent and Parish communities and to provide support to students and families in need. We are thrilled to share with you some of the work that they will be undertaking.

I hope you enjoy this first edition for 2023 of Broken Bay News across our schools and on behalf of all at CSBB, I wish everyone a wonderful year ahead.
