Catholic Schools Week

This week, the week of 25-31 January, is being observed as Catholic Schools Week. The theme for Catholic Schools Week is "Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge, and Service."

This theme was developed in response to requests for a theme and logo that would last more than a year (the new theme is being used for at least three years). The theme encompasses several concepts that are at the heart of a Catholic education. First, schools are communities - small families in their own right, but also members of the larger community of home, church, city and nation. Faith, knowledge and service are three measures by which any Catholic school can and should be judged.

The logo features a swirl of colors interacting around a cross, which is at the center of all Catholic education. The vibrancy of the colors and the movement and shadows in the logo are designed to portray the inner-connectivity and community life that are present in our Catholic schools.
