Each year we are blessed to welcome new students and their families to our Townsville Catholic school community as well as our new teachers and support staff who all help to make a big difference in our students’ lives.
I would also like to welcome our Townsville Catholic Education office staff, including our newly appointed Leadership staff; Director of School Development Services, John Nuttall and Education Consultant, David McNeale. Both John and David join us from Principal roles at Gilroy Santa Maria College, Ingham and Ryan Catholic College, Kirwan respectively and we are excited to have their knowledge, experience and wisdom as part of our Leadership Team.
This year has once again seen growth in our student numbers, with many of our schools exceeding their enrolment targets. This is a credit to your schools and the dedicated staff who nurture our students to be their best, every day.
For our schools, the new school year starts well before students’ first day as our staff have been busy planning to ensure the best opportunities are available for all students. Staff have also participated in ongoing professional development days including Student Protection and workplace compliance training in readiness to provide a safe and welcoming school environment.
This term, Townsville Catholic Education has launched our new enrolment campaign inviting our communities to Experience Catholic Schools. This new campaign showcases what Catholic schools offer; providing safe and welcoming environments for children of all ages with a strong focus on student wellbeing, inclusion and excellence. Places where students have the opportunity to be their best, every day.
