Introduction

Catholic schools across Victoria share a common mission to nurture the faith, learning and wellbeing of every student. While united in this purpose, each diocese and proprietor brings its own approach to how faith is encountered, experienced and taught within school communities. These approaches reflect the richness and diversity of Catholic education, shaped by local traditions, charisms and pastoral priorities.

The following section provides an overview of how faith is lived in Catholic schools, including approaches to sacramental preparation, Religious Education curriculum, and opportunities for prayer, liturgy and service. It also includes links to further information specific to each diocese and proprietor, supporting families to more deeply understand and engage with the faith life of their child’s school.
