Our Catholic Character best practices material has been updated for 2018 and is now organised into the four dimensions from the review framework. The latest edition of this publication is now available in the Resources section of our website (link here).

Here are two items, to tempt you to read the full document, which has many more good ideas that your school might care to emulate. Thank you to all the schools doing wonderful work that led to these items being circulated.

• A number of parents and families have become baptised, and there are whānau in school supporting other whānau in the RCIA programme. People feel supported in a safe, inclusive and non-judgemental community which allows them to explore, reconnect with or deepen their faith.
• Students preparing for the sacraments of initiation are linked with an older student who is already attending Mass in the student’s home parish.
