Catholic secondary school principals from across the State gathered in late August to reflect on their work in the context of the Year of Grace.

Secondary Catholic schools principals from the Kimberley, Metropolitan and the Great Southern took time out from August 22-24 to spend time with each other and reflect during the Year of Grace.

“Our facilitator, Rev Dr Kevin Lenehan, gently led us through the days using the theme ‘Leading with Grace’,” said Catholic Secondary Principals Association President, Peter Bothe.

“Leadership of Catholic Schools requires an appreciation of Grace in the midst of an ever secular context”.

As a result, he said, “Principals will return to their respective schools with the energy and resources to stimulate prayer and discernment among students, staff and parents”.
