S c h o o l s
Catholic Education SA has been delighted to receive
the news about building the Education Revolution
which means that $14.7 billion will be provided
around Australia to assist schools with the most upto-date
possible facilities for student learning.
Catholic schools will certainly be among the
beneficiaries for this and we are confident that this
will be another initiative to strengthen our schools as
faith-filled learning communities.
Australian Technical Colleges
The Archdiocese of Adelaide has been successful in
its submissions to become the education authority
for the two Australian Technical Colleges located in
the Adelaide metropolitan area.
The principal of the Elizabeth West college is Rob
Thomas and the Christies Beach college will be
headed by Jim Fenoughty, both of whom come from
a strong background in Catholic education.
Archbishop Wilson has been a strong supporter of
the Technical Colleges initiative since their inception
and is delighted that the archdiocese is able to off e r
leadership to these two colleges as they move into
the future in providing creative and flexible
education pathways to students.
