To celebrate and promote Catholic Schools Week (CSW), Mt Carmel School is offering various activities and educational initiatives, including open classrooms, open day tours, a parent information night and an evening with students celebrating their talents in the creative and performing arts.
Mt Carmel School Principal Gaye McManus said Catholic Schools Week was the perfect opportunity to illustrate these important themes in action at their Catholic school.
“One of the central pillars of Catholic education is creating a sense of belonging and community and providing the support that is integral to enabling students become the best versions of themselves,”’ she said.
Mrs McManus said Catholic Schools Week was one of the most important events on the school calendar each year.
“During Catholic Schools Week, people can experience for themselves the range and level of opportunities available to students at Mt Carmel.”
“Catholic schools like ours offer distinctive educational experiences that underpin our ability to create strong leaders and adults of integrity and compassion,” she said.
Mrs McManus said the pastoral care support at Mt Carmel was strongly supported by outstanding opportunities for academic excellence, leadership, sport, music and the performing arts.
On Friday, May 5 at 6.30pm, students will be showcasing their dance, drama, singing and visual arts skills at their annual Music, Art, Dance and Drama (MADD) night.
“These opportunities are all supported by excellent facilities, state of the art technologies and talented and dedicated teachers,”’ Mrs McManus said.
