Celebrating the contribution families make to Catholic education
Family Week, which celebrates the vital contribution families have made to Catholic education in Australia coincides with the Feast Day of Australia’s First Saint, Mary MacKillop, who was a passionate educator and advocate for children and families, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Across Australia from 8-14 August school communities will celebrate Family Week.
A range of resources have been developed to assist you and your family celebrate Family Week.
