A renewed vision and strategy for Sydney Catholic Schools

Sydney Catholic Schools has commenced a process to discern a new strategic vision for Sydney Catholic Schools. It is important that the hopes and aspirations of a wide cross-section of our community are heard, as the new vision will inspire and guide our work over the coming years.

The working title of this visioning process, ‘Towards 2033’, has been chosen as 2033 will be an important jubilee year for the Universal Church, marking 2000 years since the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Over Term 3, there will be opportunities for members of the Sydney Catholic Schools community to contribute their thoughts and aspirations.

Through a process of dialogue and discernment, we will ensure that we are reading and responding to the signs of the times and that our future direction is grounded in the wisdom and needs of our diverse Sydney Catholic Schools community.

As we embark on this process, we encourage you to reflect deeply on our mission with an open heart and a curious mind.

We invite you to take part in the Towards 2033 Survey.

This survey is a vital opportunity for you to reflect on our shared mission and offer your hopes and insights for the future of our schools and system.

Your voice matters.

All responses will remain anonymous. Please select your relevant survey link from the dropdown list below.

The survey will remain open until: Friday 18 July 2025
