Catholic Education WA Acting Executive Director Wayne Bull said he is proud to say that Catholic schools across the state continue to be schools of choice for families.
“Year after year we hear this is because of their commitment to accompanying students as they learn and grow, and because our schools have a culture of excellence,” Mr Bull said.
“But importantly, when we hear from former students, the resounding message is that Catholic schools provide students with a sense of belonging and instil in them a spirit of service; a commitment to make a meaningful contribution to the communities we serve.”
Mr Bull also acknowledged the students’ parents, family, teachers and principals for their support and encouragement throughout their learning journey.
