We provide early career teachers with targeted support and professional development opportunities, an experienced school-based mentor, and regular time to network with peers from other schools who understand the challenges and joys of beginning a teaching career.
As Catholics, we recognise that your spiritual wellbeing is as important as your physical and mental health. We offer a variety of opportunities for spiritual formation, to enrich both personal faith and professional life.
Through prayer, retreats, programs, and the daily living out of our Catholic faith in schools and offices, we foster an environment where you can deepen your relationship with God and integrate your faith into all aspects of your life. We know everyone is at a different point in their spiritual journey, so we aim to provide resources and support to meet you where you are.
At Catholic Education Diocese of Wollongong, we view professional learning and development as key to building a fulfilling career. Whether you're a teacher, school leader, support staff member, or working in corporate services, we encourage a proactive approach to career planning. This includes identifying your personal goals, exploring diverse career paths within Catholic education, and strategically planning your development to achieve those aspirations.
We recognise the diversity of career aspirations within our organisation. Whether you're passionate about contemporary pedagogy, student wellbeing, diverse learning, or leadership, we offer pathways to match your interests. We also acknowledge the importance of balancing personal and professional life, providing policies and resources to support staff with family and caring responsibilities.
If you’re aspiring to a leadership role, we offer targeted development opportunities. We outline the essential criteria for positions such as principal, assistant principal, religious education coordinator, and middle leaders, and offer tailored leadership programs to help you build the knowledge and skills you need to succeed.
Our professional learning opportunities are deeply rooted in the mission and values of the Catholic Church. We believe that understanding the distinctive purpose of Catholic education is vital for all staff members. This includes supporting teachers in obtaining accreditation to teach in a Catholic school and encouraging a deeper understanding of their role in the Church's mission.
