Aboriginal boarding benefits students and communities
Apriority for Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) is providing equitable access to a Catholic education for Aboriginal students. Research supports CEWA’s concern that despite many Aboriginal children and young adults achieving educational success, a significant proportion of students are still acquiring low education outcomes and school completion rates.
Ensuring affordable access to Catholic education
Providing a quality, accessible and affordable faith-based education, while supporting families from diverse backgrounds and financial needs, are key commitments of Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA).
‘We never stop learning’
Learning is a lifelong occupation. This proposition is itself a truth that we learn as we journey through the many stages of life. I like to repeat the comment of Mark Twain when discussing lifelong learning. He said that, as an 18-year-old, he was amazed at how very little his father knew, but by the time he was 23 he was amazed to discover how much his father had learned! Twain came to appreciate the lifetime of learning and wisdom his father attained, even though Twain had failed to recognise it as an 18 year old. We begin to learn from birth and never stop.
