I would like to welcome Queensland Catholic school communities back to the classroom for what will no doubt be another exciting and productive term. 

Term 4 is always a hectic period of assessments, farewells, and preparations for the next school year as well as a time to look back and recognise all we have achieved.  

With the recent lifting of the final COVID-19 isolation restrictions, this term perhaps represents the closest to the new normal that we have yet seen and we look forward to it progressing with minimal disruption.  

As I return from my period of renewal leave, I would like to thank my colleagues Chris Woolley, Steven Jeffery, and Yvonne Ries for sharing the role of Acting Executive Director during my absence.
