We had the pleasure of hosting @RayBoyd007 last week talking to our @ceacg Principals and system leaders. Such an important reflection on the processes, structures and systems within the school that will enable the conditions for Catalyst to move from implementing to embedding, refining and sustaining longer term. Love the concept of a Learning Eco-System #Catalyst

Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn Assembly gathers across the Archdiocese discerning where the Holy Spirit wishes us to be. Exploring Encounter Discipleship and Mission.

Well done @ceacg for your HITP intensives! Amazing to see dedicated teachers during their stand down participating in quality professional learning. Watching demo lessons, modelling lessons themselves and gaining quality feedback. @DrLSHammond @JessicaColleu @ellis_patrick

Teachers from across our system have dedicated three days of their holidays to developing skills in high impact teaching practice. Thanks to @DrLSHammond and her team of coaches for sharing their knowledge and insights. ow.ly/FT7H50TCQmu #CatholicEducation #Catalyst

This from @DavidDidau's 'Bringing the English Curriculum to Life' is a massively important argument. As far as choosing texts is concerned, we too often see choices being made that lack criticality and we become, therefore, alarmed when students don't master the subject.

A great visit to Michaela @Miss_Snuffy with @KnowledgeScty Study Tour. This is now the second time visiting (same time last year) and the level of consistency in practice and expectation is incredible. The precision and intention behind all that they do is very impressive. The instructional routines were on point across all grades and subject areas, and aligned closely (if not tighter) to what I observed last year. ‘Knowledge is Power’ is a great mantra and their commitment to ensuring students know things to succeed in life, along with being kind to others to navigate through that life - very impressive! Work hard, be kind - we can all focus on that more. Love it 🙌🏼 #Catalyst

Visiting @ArkSoaneAcademy with @KnowledgeScty Study Tour was a great experience. Having visited last year, it was great to see them continue to grow, holding the line with high levels of ambition in their curriculum, high levels of expectation with class practice and consistent instructional routines across classes. Really clear examples of high support with high accountability in a warm, calming and inviting environment #Catalyst
