Tasmanian Catholic Education Office 5 Emmett Place, New Town, Tasmania 7008

Welcome to the Tasmanian Catholic Education Office, located in New Town, Emmett Place. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to providing a holistic education that encompasses the intellectual, physical, moral, and spiritual aspects of each individual. Our mission is to guide students in discovering God's plan for their lives and nurturing their growth in knowledge and understanding of the mysteries of God's Kingdom.

At our institution, Catholic education goes beyond traditional subjects like English, Mathematics, and Sciences. We believe in incorporating Catholic beliefs and teachings into all aspects of learning, including the arts, physical education, and more. This approach allows students to develop a well-rounded understanding of the world and their place in it.

We understand the importance of spiritual growth and provide an environment that encourages personal holiness, prayer, and participation in the Sacraments. While parents are the primary educators of their children's spiritual development, our Catholic schools and colleges aim to support families in this vital journey towards eternal life promised by Jesus.

In addition to spiritual growth, we also prioritize the exploration and understanding of the world around us. Through subjects like mathematics, sciences, and engineering, students delve into the beauty and design of God's creation. They also develop emotional maturity and wisdom through the study of social sciences, creative arts, and performance.

Catholic Education Tasmania takes great pride in our system of schools and colleges. Aligned with the Gospel's message, we are committed to spreading the teachings of Christ and the Church. Under the guidance of Archbishop Julian Porteous, our goal is to foster the growth of our students in wisdom, knowledge, understanding, prayer, and holiness.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the original and ongoing custodians of the land, honoring their connection to the land, seas, air, and waterways. We are committed to the ongoing journey of reconciliation.

Over the years, Catholic Education Tasmania has celebrated various milestones, including the ten-year anniversary of Catholic School Parents Australia and the success of Catholic Education Week. We prioritize educational reform and innovation, with a focus on the Science of Learning and Reading.

Our People Services team plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of Catholic education in Tasmania. They support key recruitment strategies for all staff members.

We are also proud of our ongoing projects, such as the Year 11 Southern College Extension project, which allows students to stay at one college for their entire Year 7-12 schooling. The St. Thomas Aquinas Teaching Schools Institute offers experienced-based high-quality teacher training through its cadet program.

Come join us at Sacred Heart Catholic School in Launceston, which has been educating students for 150 years. Since opening its doors in 1873, the school has been a pillar of Catholic education in Tasmania.
