About Us
Catholic Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn Education Limited (CACGEL) operates in the ACT and NSW, supporting 56 schools and nine early learning centres (ELCs).
The Archdiocesan Schools Office provides a range of services to the system through four directorates including Faith in Learning, School Operations, Corporate Services and Governance and Strategy.
About The Role
The Faith and Mission Lead position supports the overall mission of CACGEL, which is to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ through the integral human development of students.
The role is critical to the successful execution of the ********* CACGEL Apostolic Action Plan "Grounded in Faith, Growing in Service".
At the heart of this plan is faith formation of staff, necessary to ensure that faith is the breath that oxygenates every other subject in the curriculum.
The role is directly responsible to the Deputy Executive Director, Faith in Learning.
The Faith in Learning directorate was created by bringing together the current Catholic Identity Team and the Teaching and Learning Team, which previously operated independently in organisational siloes.
This restructure is designed to support the design and implementation of a specifically Catholic approach to teaching and learning, i.e. a Catholic Curriculum.
The Faith and Mission Lead provides system‐level leadership for the design,



implementation and evaluation of faith formation programmes and professional learning that strengthen theological understanding, religious literacy, and the enactment of the Catholic curriculum across schools in the Archdiocese.
In fulfilling this responsibility, the Faith and Mission Lead will work closely with the Catholic Curriculum and Teaching Lead, ensuring that the right intellectual and spiritual skilled learning is in place so that the Catholic curriculum can be given its fullest expression.
The Faith and Mission Lead will lead and manage a committed team in the development and implementation of programmes to enhance religious literacy of staff, and especially to assess and address the professional learning needs, in terms of knowledge and pedagogy, of those teaching Religious Education.
A knowledge of the Catholic Social Tradition and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition is essential as is a demonstrated understanding, capacity and willingness to learn from scholars in the field of the Catholic understanding of the purposes of education.
The capacity to form partnerships with outside agencies, including tertiary institutions local and overseas, is essential.
