Wellbeing and the Catholic School
The Council for Catechetics, assisting the Council for Education of the Irish Episcopal Conference,
has published a new document for primary and post-primary Catholic Schools entitled, “Wellbeing
and the Catholic School.” Drawing inspiration from both Christian teachings and governmental
strategies, the document highlights how Catholic schools create environments that foster
resilience, hope, and moral integrity, ensuring students thrive, not just academically, but as whole
individuals. This resource offers practical insights for school leaders, teachers, and parents to
embed a Catholic vision of wellbeing into policies, curriculum, and daily practices. You are
requested to bring this document to the attention of members of the BOM, staff, and parents in
your school community please.
