Our Bold Goals
In 2020, we created a vision and approach of system-wide change, focusing on our teachers as the most important learner, to improve student learning across the Archdiocese. In three years, 56 schools, 1,700 teachers and more than 21,000 students have engaged in the Catalyst journey in someway. NAPLAN achievement data is a positive early indicator that we are heading in the right direction as we strive towards our Bold Goals.
Throughout our journey, we have consistently monitored, adapted, and refined the Catalyst program to transition from initial implementation to embedding and sustaining long-term practice change, all while staying true to our bold goals.
