Programs for Teachers

I’ve been so fortunate to complete my studies at CTC. I have been blessed with extremely dedicated and knowledgeable teachers who not only helped me grow professionally, but have also enabled personal reflection that has helped me deepen my faith. The content taught was relevant to my experiences in the workplace but also personally rewarding. I am extremely grateful to all the lecturers that I have had the pleasure of working with.

Catholic Dialogue School Seminar

CTC offers annually a 2-day seminar (4 sessions) that is open to all teachers in Catholic Schools – especially those not teaching religious education.
These sessions will provide a strong introduction to the language and purpose of the Enhancing Catholic School Identity (ECSI) Project.

Each 3 hour session has been approved for teachers to:

  • Gain or Maintain Accreditation to Teach in a Catholic School.
  • Maintain accreditation to Teach RE or Lead in a Catholic School.

2021 Information

  • Friday 13 August
  • Friday 27 August
    • Session 3: 9.30am – 12.30pm: How do we do it?
      Presenter: Dr Gina Bernasconi
    • Session 4: 1.15pm – 4.15pm: What does it mean for me?

It is expected that participants completing both days will gain 12 hours in Area 2 towards gaining/maintaining accreditation to teach in a Catholic School (CECV Policy 2020). A certificate of attendance is provided by the College upon completion.

  • “Very interesting fact based discussion.”
  • “The use of break out groups was a great strategy and we were able to meet some other people.”
  • “An outstanding, approachable and informative professional development session. The content was rich and full of history, I couldn’t wait to share the information with my colleagues.”
  • “Presentation style was very effective. I especially enjoyed the parts where we could use chat and comment to share ideas and thoughts.”
  • “I feel far more confident with the origins and current climate within a Catholic school – Where we are going and where we have come from is clear as crystal.”
  • “I appreciated Jude and Father Kevin’s warmth as presenters. They both allowed someone like myself (not currently a practising Catholic) to feel welcome and accepted whilst enabling us to learn without judgement. Thank you, I am hungry for more knowledge.”
  • “Keep the PD days coming! It was one of the best, most insightful PD’s I have ever attended. I really got so much out of it and am very excited for the next instalment.”
