We are from all backgrounds, from the First Australians to asylum seekers. We are the Body of Christ in this part of the Great Southland of the Holy Spirit.

As part of Catholic Education South Australia, the Catholic Education Office (CEO) works in partnership with Catholic schools to provide a range of facilities and resources to support Catholic education and families.
The CEO works to assist schools in enriching the lives of students by providing support which promotes the spiritual, physical, emotional, social and intellectual well-being of all students. Through partnerships with parents/carers, parishes, governments, and the wider community, the CEO strives to provide opportunities for students to develop their full potential.
Our Catholic schools are sacramental communities, in that they look for ways to help students find meaning in their studies and enable them to discover God in everyday happenings. Our schools promote the Gospel values of love, justice, forgiveness and reconciliation. In Catholic Education we seek to create environments that enhance learning, nurture young people and empower them to live life in the spirit of Jesus Christ in regional, rural and remote South Australia.
Our mission is the mission of Jesus Christ, whom we believe to be the Son of God. This means that we are committed to serving Jesus as he brings about the kingdom of God. Jesus himself quotes the prophet Isaiah who said:
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.
