Support for the Alice Springs Declaration
In 2019, the Federal, State and Territory Education Ministers agreed upon a new national declaration on education goals for all Australians. Known as the Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration (the Declaration), it sets out the national vision for education and the commitment of Australian Governments to improving educational outcomes.
The Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration notes two goals.
- That the Australian Education System promotes equity and excellence.
- All young Australians become:
- confident and creative individuals
- successful lifelong learners
- active and informed members of the community.
These goals sit within the Brisbane Catholic Education Vision and Learning and Teaching Framework that notes:
“As a Catholic Christian community, we educate for all to live the gospel of Jesus Christ as successful, creative and confident, active and informed learners empowered to shape and enrich our world."
The Vision for Learning at Clairvaux MacKillop College is inspired by our Catholic tradition, we strive for excellence imbued by the charisms of our Founders. As witnesses to the Good News of Jesus Christ, we act with integrity and hope. Empowered by the Spirit, we embrace the future with confidence.
