Mandatory Reporting – Protecting Children eLearning module

As part of our ongoing commitment to child safety, all CEB staff must complete the Mandatory Reporting – Protecting Children eLearning module. This is usually completed by the end of March, however there have been technical issues with the ELMO platform in 2021, please refer to the SIMON landing page for more information.

Once complete, CEB staff need to forward a copy of the Certificate of Completion to tofarrell@ceob.edu.au. All CEB staff are to complete the e-module (unless prevented by ELMO technical issues) prior to Wednesday 31 March.

Getting to know People and Development

The People and Development team formed just over a year ago following an organisational review in 2019. Last year presented challenges in engaging across teams and the sharing of ideas and information. We are pleased to share an overview of the P&D team's priority areas of work and look forward to working with you in the year ahead. We thank all who have partnered with us, supported our learning journey, and contributed to shaping our next steps.

Weekly Lenten Prayer Gathering

All staff are warmly invited to join our weekly Lenten Prayer gathering on Monday mornings at 8.30am during Lent. 

Note that next week’s gathering will be held on Tuesday 9 March at 8.30am due to the public holiday. 

Gatherings are in person in the Diocesan Meeting Room (DMR) or via this WebEx link.

The program we are using comes from The Archdiocese of Brisbane. Additional Lenten Prayers are available here. 

For enquiries please contact Jim Waight.

ECSI Survey Reminder

Thanks to everyone who has completed the ECSI Survey so far.

A reminder that the Survey will be available until Thursday 1 April.

A Survey Information Sheet is available to download which includes hints to ensure the survey process is smooth. Please don’t wait until the last day to go online!

WebCentral Reminder

Just a reminder that it is essential to keep WebCentral up to date with your movements as this serves as a log book of your activity, as a part of CEB’s duty of care to staff and should there ever be a need for contact tracing.
