About Catholic Education, Archdiocese of Canberra
Catholic Education, Archdiocese Canberra and Goulburn (CECG) is a leading education provider in the Canberra and southern NSW region. We have city, regional, rural, coastal and remote work locations covering 88,000 square kilometres from Pambula in the south to Goulburn and Crookwell in the north and west to Lake Cargelligo. The System is comprised of 29 schools and nine early learning centres in the ACT and 27 schools in NSW. We educate approximately 24,000 students and engage over 3,500 staff.
CECG is among Australia's leading education systems for teacher professional learning and development. This has been achieved through the development and implementation of Catalyst , an evidence-based professional learning program based on the Science of Learning and the Science of Reading Principles. The program has been developed in collaboration with leading experts such as Dr Lorraine Hammond, Jenny Donovan, Natalie Wexler, Michael Roberts and Toni Hatten-Roberts, amongst others and provides teachers with a suite of curated resources to support development, growth and excellence in teaching and learning.
About the role
Principals of Catholic schools are called to live and promote our Vision, share and witness to our Catholic faith and traditions, build inclusive communities, and deliver contemporary, quality learning opportunities for every person.
St Patrick's is one school with many dimensions. St Patrick's is more than the sum of the traditions and history, although these are carried with pride. We are committed to being an inspiring learning community with an envisioned future.
The students are well-known, well-cared for, and well-educated. The school is small enough to care for students individually and big enough to challenge a generation of young people to transform the communities in which they will live and work in the future. St Patrick's fosters curiosity, courage, and compassion in its students.
The team is trained in the Science of Learning including in Direct Instruction programs such as Spelling Mastery, Connecting Mathematics Concepts and Initialit. Teaching staff have an Instructional Coach trained by Associate Professor Lorraine Hammond and/or Toni Hatten-Roberts. They are supported through access to training in the Writing Revolution, La Trobe University's SOLAR program. The school works alongside curriculum writers for Ochre Education and implements trauma-informed approaches to education through the Berry St Education Model.
The Principal leads a team of 56 employees and a student cohort of 416*.
Catholic Education is seeking candidates who can commit to the purpose of our schools, namely " To be faith-filled Catholic learning communities of hope, joy and wonder where all are welcome and inspired to grow to their potential."
We are also looking for a Principal who will actively engage with the community and grow school enrolments under their leadership.
