Edition 35 | 11th November 2020

The diversity of human culture is reflected in the diversity of philosophical viewpoints on life. The US election has focused our attention on some of these differences and may have given us cause to reflect on the values and principles that guide our own lives. NAIDOC Week and Remembrance Day provide the same opportunity for reflection. How did I come to hold a particular view? What are the cultural influences that have shaped my thinking? What are my responsibilities for making meaning for my students as they prepare to leave school and enter the wider world?

Over the next two editions of The Soul, Assistant Director - SEACS, Gary Reen will provide a reflection on the Catholic worldview and its centrality in mission, learning and teaching, pastoral care, leadership, family partnerships and in our lives beyond a role in Catholic education.
