On Friday, 14 February, 57 new Early Career Teachers were welcomed to Catholic Education in the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn. The Commissioning ceremony took place in Haydon Hall, Manuka, and was presided over by the Vicar for Education, Monsignor John Woods. 

During the ceremony, each teacher shared their commitment to their new role and the year ahead. They were welcomed by Catholic Education Director, Ross Fox and then presented with a Bible.

The Early Career cohort are in their first year out of university. Ten teachers will take up postings in our regional NSW Catholic schools and the remaining 47 in Catholic schools across the ACT.

We wish them all the best for the year ahead.
