This week, the week of 29 January-5 February, is Catholic Schools Week. The theme for Catholic Schools Week 2012 is “Catholic Schools: Faith. Academics. Service.”
The theme focuses on three priorities that Catholic schools establish that make them stand out from other educational institutions. Children are taught faith – not just the basics of Christianity, but how to have a relationship with God. Academics, which in Catholic schools are held to very high standards, help each child reach his or her potential. Service, the giving of one’s time and effort to help others, is taught both as an expression of faith and good citizenship.
