Last Thursday afternoon and Friday staff attended the Communities of Practice Conference, CoP22. It was a celebration of communal and collaborative endeavour conducted in 2022 by teachers and co-educators in the learning environments of our region; an opportunity for staff to reflect on the way we assist our young to find their place, pathway and then to shine. We were delighted to have staff of Mary MacKillop Memorial School and St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School a part of this significant conference with the theme of The Critical Literacies of our Communities.

This year in our region we have accentuated teacher collaboration and mutual accountability with an aspiration of determining clarity in what makes thriving people, capable learners and leaders for the world God desires. At this time of the Catholic Education South Australia (CESA) Living, Learning, Leading Framework, and celebrating the agency of our young, CoP22 was a commitment to continue reflecting on our craft as Catholic educators, who aspire to enable each and every learner in our region to shine, with all the deep reflection, critique, collaboration, humility, professional frailty and wonderful communal success that such whole staff endeavour brings.
