Learning through COVID-19

With schools being closed due to COVID-19 student learning outside the traditional school has been introduced. This has meant solutions like virtual/ online learning or home-schooling began in Term 2. Teachers in the Ballarat Diocese are making the necessary changes to ensure that students and families are supported in this time.

St Alipius Parish School in Ballarat East is one such school and the reflections below emulate this:

We are a community of communities from the Murray to the sea.
Inspired by the Gospel and nourished by the Eucharist, we follow the example of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, reaching out in joyful and humble service, caring for all of God’s creation, growing in love day by day and looking forward to life with God forever.

Diocesan Vision Statement

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands in which the Diocese of Ballarat sits. We would like to pay our respects to Aboriginal Elders past, present and future. Their wisdom can help us care for the earth, our common home.
