Reflection - Pilgrims of Hope

Pilgrims of Hope

As 2025 is unfolding, here is a blessing that may be suitable to use at Opening Year Liturgies, staff meetings or information sharing sessions with families. 

A Friendship Blessing

Creator God, as Pilgrims of Hope, we pray for one another along the journey of 2025. With confidence we pray for one another using this reflection;

May you be blessed with good friends.
May you learn to be a good friend to yourself.
May you be able to journey to that place in your soul where
there is great love, warmth, feeling, and forgiveness.
May this change you.
May it transfigure that which is negative, distant, or cold in you.
May you be brought into the real passion, kinship, and affinity of belonging.
May you treasure your friends.
May you be good to them and may you be there for them;
may they bring you all the blessing, challenges, truth,
and light that you need for your journey.
May you never be isolated.
May you always be in the gentle nest of belonging with your anam ċara.

Amen

Adapted from Anam Cara: A Book Of Celtic Wisdom by John O’Donohue

In the Celtic tradition, there is a beautiful understanding of love and friendship. One of the fascinating ideas here is the soul-love; the old Gaelic term for this is an anam cara. Anam is the Gaelic word for soul and cara is the word for friend. So anam cara in the Gaelic world was the ‘soul friend.” In the early Celtic church, a person who acted as a teacher, companion, or spiritual guide was called an anam cara - John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

May we all be and find an Anam Cara as we experience everything 2025 brings.

From the Executive Director

It has been wonderful to see school communities gathering for liturgical celebrations in recent days to mark the beginning of the school year. These special occasions, often including commissioning of student leaders, welcoming of new families and staff etc, form an important part of our distinctive Catholic school identity.  

Yesterday I was in Melbourne with Dave Runge (Future Schools) and Canadian colleagues, Jean Claude Couture and Stephen Murgatroyd, to present a workshop at the International Congress for School Effectiveness and Improvement (ICSEI). The workshop entitled - 'An International Collaboration: Making sense of past reforms in current times' - reflected on the learnings and application of the Alberta (Canada) Initiative for School Improvement (AISI) to the development of our 'DOBCEL Strategy 2035 – Pursuing fullness of life for all'.  The workshop attracted interest and affirmation from some high profile conference participants.

In further looking at global best practices to help inform our local directions, last Friday I was thrilled to join more than 100 middle leaders and Principals from across the Diocese to work with world-renowned education scholar, Professor Andy Hargreaves. 

It was a real privilege to have someone of Andy’s standing with us in the diocese to kick-off the system level initiatives designed to give life to our DOBCEL Strategy 2035.

Around 30 of the middle and aspiring school leaders will further develop their skills working with mentors for the next 12 months, including mentorship by Pasi Sahlberg and Dave Runge, alongside conversations with global thought-leaders to help evoke innovative responses to action research projects. 

In this vein, leading authority on system and school improvement, David Hopkins will be with us on 17th February to present a keynote address. Places are still available to attend in person or online. (Details later in this newsletter) 

This week it has also been pleasing to witness the enormous energy across the diocese for the FLARE Literacy Improvement Strategy with hundreds of teachers and school leaders coming together for professional learning led by the FLARE Executive Team  in Ballarat, Camperdown and Horsham.

Along with Pasi Sahlberg, Dave Runge and Canadian colleague, Jean Claude CoutureI, I look forward to joining Principals for the first Diocesan Leadership Gathering of the year in Horsham next week.

With best wishes,

Tom Sexton, Executive Director

DOBCEL Catholic school leaders work with Professor Andy Hargreaves!

Last Friday, 100 middle leaders and Principals from Catholic schools across DOBCEL collaborated with world-renowned education scholar, Professor Andy Hargreaves. The session focused on “leadership from the middle” as a driver for transformational change. With a 12-month mentorship program ahead, school leaders will dive deeper into action research, global insights, and innovative leadership practices to shape the future of education.

Wellbeing Updates

CEB Wellbeing team initiative:  Universal Speech Screening for Foundation Students – Term 1, 2025

Across term 1, 2025, Foundation students in 47 diocesan primary schools will undergo speech screening as part of an initiative by the Catholic Education Ballarat (CEB) Speech Pathology Team. This initiative, based on research showing the importance of early speech screening for students, aims to address speech issues identified early in a student's education, as untreated speech problems can lead to long-term difficulties in reading, writing, mental health and employability.

The initiative builds on a successful pilot project in 2024 at several diocesan schools, which identified speech disorders in some students who hadn't received prior intervention before coming to school. The feedback from schools during this pilot was positive, highlighting the value of early support to students and intervention planning with classroom teachers.

In 2025, the speech screening project has expanded and will be supporting schools, with screening of 1,347 Foundation students. This will strengthen collaboration between classroom teachers and speech pathologists, ensuring that students receive the support they require to develop strong speech skills and, if necessary, participate in additional speech sound programmes supported by the CEB Speech team.

MARAM Training for Nominated Staff in Schools

The Department of Education has partnered with the Centre of Excellence in Child and Family Welfare to deliver free and interactive family violence MARAM training to education workforces. This 4-hour training will support school and early childhood staff to build skills they already have to better identify and respond to family violence. Online training is available 1-2 times a week during school term time until June 2026, and in-person training will be held throughout Victoria until June 2026. 

This training is for MARAM nominated staff. MARAM nominated staff are identified by school and service leaders and have qualifications, training, experience, or a role aligned with wellbeing, such as wellbeing coordinators, or leadership staff. The training includes activities that will support MARAM nominated staff to screen for violence, plan for safety, make referrals and reports, and provide ongoing support. Training hours count towards professional learning for Victorian Institute of Teaching registration, and Casual Relief Teacher reimbursement is available (the Centre will email you instructions about how to claim this). The training is based on the Department of Education's Information Sharing and Family Violence Reforms: Guidance and Tools.

QUIT Victoria - Resources for Grades 5-6 and Year 7-10

Quit has recently launched and updated their education resources to ensure that they remain fit-for-purpose, contemporary and aligned to new best practice messaging, research and evidence and national vaping reforms. Resources can be accessed here. 

Seeing Through the Haze Education Resources

Seeing Through the Haze develops health literacy and equips students with critical knowledge and critical thinking skills. Laid out as a sequence of learning activities over three modules, Seeing Through the Haze takes a whole-of-school approach, developing active learners with the capabilities to:

• Understand how vapes work and the health harms of vaping;
• ‘See through the haze’ of misinformation, understand social and commercial determinants of health, and investigate cessation techniques;
• Create their own campaign for smoke and vape-free places.

Teaching Guides

To support the delivery of Seeing Through the Haze, Quit has developed teaching guides for Year 5-6 and Year 7-10 delivery. The Teaching Guide is designed to be used alongside the student education resource. It explains the structure of the resources, contains lesson planning and delivery suggestions, curriculum links and answers to the activities.

Educators can select and choose which activities are delivered depending on their students’ needs, interests, learning abilities and timetables. Possible extension activities are also included should you wish to deepen student learning further.

Student Education Resources

Student education resources are available for upper primary (Year 5-6) and secondary (Year 7-10).

Key learning outcomes include:

• Foundational knowledge to understand vaping and the impacts on health
• Explore the history of vaping, the science of vaping and the impact on the environment
• Gain awareness of how social factors, including peers, influence decisions about vaping
• Investigate vaping cessation support options
• Examine the marketing and advertising tactics used by industries when targeting young people
• Identify local community organisations and professionals who work to provide healthier environments for young people to live, work and play
• Create a campaign that advocates for smoke and vape-free areas

The student education resource has a coherent sequence of activities for students to complete.

Please note: the teaching guide is designed to be used alongside the student education resource.

FIRE Carrier Program

Friends Igniting Reconciliation through Education

The FIRE Carrier Program is a way that schools can show their outward commitment to authentic reconciliation and their support of self-determination in education for First Nations students and their families. All members of a school community are encouraged to share reconciliation with others under the lead of the Commissioned Staff and Student FIRE Carriers.

Each school creates a School Covenant that emphasises the ethos and faith belief of Catholic schools and the social justice responses they are committed to make as part of their Catholic identity. The school covenant focuses on the three core values of Spirituality; Cultural Recognition and Awareness; and Practical Recognition and Justice. Schools commit to actions that meet each of these values. This is a living document that is referred to throughout the year and has the input from the school community including staff and students. First Nations students and families are also invited to contribute if they would like to part of the program.

The FIRE Carrier Program provides a framework for addressing School Compliance including Child Safe Standards and the VCEA Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Action Plan. It is a great opportunity for student leadership, voice and action for social justice.

We look forward to your school becoming a FIRE Carrier School in the future!

For more information about the FIRE Carrier Program send an email to firecarrier@openingthedoors.org.au

You can visit our New FIRE Carrier School Information folder containing our Information Booklet, PowerPoint presentation, Fee Schedule and Expression of Commitment Form ready to share the FIRE Carrier Program with your school leadership, staff and students.

Our Diocesan Community Magazine 2025 - Now inviting contributions

The Ballarat Diocesan print publication “Our Diocesan Community” (ODC), jointly sponsored by the Diocese and Catholic Education Ballarat, will again be published three times during 2025.  The aim of “Our Diocesan Community” is to share the good news of the many initiatives taking place in our parishes, schools and agencies around the diocese.  Click here for the timeline and content for 2025. 

ODC is distributed to all parishes and families and staff of primary and secondary schools of the diocese.  Contributors to ODC are the people of the diocesan community.  The only way we all will hear of the good things happening in the various communities is if they are written and contributed from the local level.  It is helpful if we have an ODC contact person in each parish / school / agency to assist with the gathering of news and distribution of the magazine. If you are able to provide a contact person please email their contact details to odc@ballarat.catholic.org.au

We now invite your contribution to the first issue for 2025.  The focus for this year will be the Jubilee Year: Pilgrims of Hope.  Pope Francis seeks to rekindle hope and trust in the future, encouraging Catholics to deepen their faith through acts of charity, penance, and pilgrimage during this Jubilee Year.  We look forward to you sharing your stories with this theme in mind.  

We are hoping also to gather stories and examples of new initiatives and experiences in the Catholic community – schools, parishes and agencies from all around the diocese.  We also invite you to share significant events that may have taken place over the last few months in your parish, school communities and agencies.  We hope to have this first issue of “Our Diocesan Community” delivered in the week beginning March 31 so the latest date for submissions to this issue is Friday, February 28.  

Articles should be approximately 250 words maximum in length and accompanied by photos where possible.  Photos should be sent as separate JPEG files (not inserted into a Word document).  

Material can be sent to odc@ballarat.catholic.org.au.  A reminder that when sending in photos, permission should be sought from those in the pictures.  From time-to-time, these photos will also be used in other diocesan publications.  Julie & Jane, for the ODC Editorial Committee.
