CEB Staff Newsletter #30 - 15 September 2023

From the Executive Director

As this term comes to a close, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all CEB staff for the work that you do with our schools and local communities. Your dedication and contribution is greatly appreciated.

To those who are taking time off next week, I hope you all enjoy your well-deserved break and I look forward to seeing the majority of you at VEMI for our Formation Days on 26 and 27 September.

Tom Sexton
Executive Director, Catholic Education Ballarat

Condolences

We extend our condolences and prayers to Paul and Michelle Jans and family on the passing of Paul’s loved Mum, Josie on Wednesday morning. The Funeral will be held at St Patrick's Cathedral, Ballarat at 10.00am, Thursday 21 September. 

We also extend our condolences and prayers to Jo Mckee, Husband Leigh, and Son Jack on the passing of Leigh's Father who was laid to rest in Echuca yesterday. 

We pray that God, who brings comfort and peace, will be with Paul, Jo and their families at this time. 

People & Development Update

You are invited to take part in the DOBCEL Staff Wellbeing Survey 2023. 

This survey will take 5 minutes of your time with the objective to assess and quantify the information already gathered during research, consultations, and workshops. Your response to this survey will contribute to the development of DOBCEL’s Staff Wellbeing Framework. 

Please note that this survey is not intended to replace or replicate other wellbeing surveys currently used in Schools or the CEB Office, such as Insight SRC, iPulse surveys, ReLATE, Culture Amp, and others.
