Today is World Catholic Education Day!
Lakeland Catholic celebrates the sacred mission of Catholic education - where faith is lived, truth is boldly upheld, and Christ is the centre of all we do.
We give thanks for the gift of publicly funded Catholic education, where students are formed in mind, body, and spirit.
Lakeland Catholic prays for all students, staff, families, and leaders who witness the Gospel each day through teaching, learning, and service.
May the Holy Spirit continue to guide our schools in wisdom, grace, and truth.


This Thursday, May 29, we invite all school communities to wear blue in honour of World Catholic Education Day and in devotion to Mary, Mother of God.
In the Catholic tradition, blue symbolizes piety, sincerity, and the faithful motherhood of Mary.
As Catholic educators, we look to Mary as our model - gentle in love, bold in faith, and devoted to her Son, our saviour, Jesus Christ.


Join Lakeland Catholic on Thursday May 29 for World Catholic Education Day! Celebrated 40 days after Easter, on the Feast of the Ascension. On this day, we honour the sacred mission of Catholic education, where academic excellence and spiritual formation walk hand in hand.
From the earliest learners to graduating leaders, Catholic schools help students discover their identity as beloved children of God.
Let us rejoice in the gift of Catholic education - shared in classrooms, lived in faith, and led by Christ.

Sharing the Faith: Celebrating the Discipleship of Catholic School Teachers
Teachers and principals from all schools gathered for Mass and a Sharing the Faith celebration honouring Year 1 and Year 2 teachers who are growing in their vocation and embracing what it means to be Catholic educators.
From praying before games and exams to leading music ministry and creating space for spiritual reflection, these teachers are living the mission of Catholic education each day. Their work is already making a meaningful difference—helping students feel seen, supported, and connected to their faith in ways that last a lifetime.
Their commitment to forming the whole child, mind, body, and spirit - through Gospel witness and intentional Catholic teaching exemplifies faith in action.
