As the Strategic Leader of Mission and Community Partnerships at St John XXIII Catholic College, I leverage my 20+ years experience in Catholic Education and Mission to challenge the role and development of Catholic education: are we Catholic Schools or schools for Catholics? How do we authentically teach each and every student with the same passion, dignity and respect in the same way Jesus did? How do we embed the charism of St John XXIII in the work that we do? My current projects include developing future-focussed partnerships and Catholic Mission with a great team of Religious Education Coordinators, Faith in Action Team Leaders and Future-Focussed Partnership Leaders. This has involved building teacher capacity, integrating cross-faculty learning and more authentic learning outcomes, and fostering values-based partnerships with local and global communities. I am passionate about using data to measure and improve student growth and achievement. I am also committed to supporting the mission and vision of our school as a Catholic learning community.
