Catholic Education, Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn

There are over 21,000 students being educated in 56 Catholic Schools and 8 Early Learning Centres in the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn. These schools are staffed by over 2,000 professionals and supported by the Catholic Education Office. Catholic Education, Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn (CECG) extends from Pambula on the south coast to Crookwell in the north, through to Lake Cargelligo in the west, a total area of 88,000 square kilometres and spans the ACT and NSW borders. It faces the challenge of effectively responding to Australian Curriculum and educational policy requirements for both the ACT and NSW while maintaining an Archdiocesan education system. The Catholic Education Office works in partnership with Catholic schools, parishes and families to provide communities of hope, joy and wonder, where all are welcome and inspired to grow to their full potential.
