2 An Evangelisation Plan gives all members of a Catholic school community their shared purpose and shape to their unique approach to education, which is primarily to evangelise. This is a dynamic process whereby the Good News of Jesus Christ is communicated based upon student needs, staff capacity and available resources. A school Evangelisation Plan will establish priorities and outline strategies for a three year period, but reviewed annually. Above all, it should empower staff and students to participate. This includes appreciating the significance of all rituals and prayers. Chisholm Catholic College s Evangelisation Plan is in accordance with the requirements given to all Catholic schools by the Catholic Education Office of Western Australia. It is a privileged place for Jesus missionary mandate to transpire and transform.
3 STATEMENT OF MISSION To promote the formation of the full humanity of the student and his or her achievement of individual wholeness in the belief that all life has its origin and fulfilment in God; and that all human values find their completeness in the person of Jesus Christ. We do this by aiming to: develop our students intellectual skills, in particular, their ability to think and to reason, enabling them to seek and discover the truth; to maintain the centrality of intellectual development in the pursuit of truth, wisdom and goodness; HISTORY Chisholm Catholic College was established in 1989 as a result of the amalgamation of St Mark s College, Bedford, conducted by the Christian Brothers, and St Thomas Aquinas College, Bedford, conducted by the Dominican Sisters. From 1989 to 2002, the College had two campuses. The senior students were taught at the original St Thomas Aquinas College site in Wood Street and the junior students were taught at the St Mark s College site in Beaufort Street. In 2003 the two campuses were combined. provide for our students the highest quality moral, spiritual, religious and intellectual education within a loving and disciplined family of faith; care for our students as individuals; to discern their particular needs and to develop their individual talents; to encourage them to be active in the service of the community; prepare the students to be productive members of the global community and to direct them towards a fulfilling pathway in life; help the students to know themselves and to express their individuality through cultural, social and physical experiences. OUR MOTTO It was Jesus expressed wish that we should be extensions of His life in our time. I am the vine, you are the branches. The Church urges the Catholic school to enable the students to live a new life in Christ. Jesus is the Head of the school community. We seek to help students to grow like Jesus in the way they think and the way they love. The College motto GROW IN CHRIST is strongly exemplified in the person and life of our patron, Caroline Chisholm.
4 The Church exists in order to evangelise, that is to say, in order to preach and teach, to be the channel of the gift of grace, to reconcile sinners with God, and to perpetuate Christ s sacrifice in the Mass, which is the memorial of His death and glorious resurrection (Evangelii Nuntiandi 14). Church communities evangelise in different ways. Good evangelisation planning is a basic need for any Church community or group if it is to respond effectively to the faith needs of those it has been commissioned to evangelise. Catholic schools do so by striving continually to be good schools and teaching students to integrate faith, culture and life. These principles underpin the Catholic Identity of Chisholm Catholic College and inform the evangelisation process. GOOD SCHOOLS At its core, Catholic schools are good schools when they continue to offer an education that is distinctive in its vision of forming men and women as Christian persons. It is an active process that both staff and students alike engage in and is intentionally directed to the growth of the whole person. FAITH, CULTURE AND LIFE To offer evangelisation, Catholic schools also need to teach students to integrate faith, culture and life. A Catholic education is fundamentally a synthesis of culture and faith, and a synthesis of faith and life: the first is reached by integrating all the different aspects of human knowledge through the subjects taught, in the light of the gospel; the second in the growth of the virtues characteristic of the Christian (The Catholic School 37). CATHOLIC IDENTITY At Chisholm Catholic College, this Catholic ethos is explored through the teaching-learning process that is mindful of the seven principles outlined in the Bishops Mandate for Catholic education: centred on the truth, human quest for truth, value of all human learning, absolute values, religious dimension of human learning, knowledge offered in a spirit of service and knowledge brings responsibility. The College also promotes its Catholic character by the way in which Gospel values are immersed into the reality of College life. Whether that be through the effective incorporation of the Catholic Curriculum in all Learning Areas, indicating the interdisciplinary nature of the search for truth or the collaborative Campus Ministry programme where the community actively engages in the rich faith tradition so as to love, live and pray as Jesus taught.
5 EVANGELISATION PROCESS There are two basic elements to the evangelisation process. The first is Christian Witness whereby the actions and words of the community reflect a Christ-like presence and a Christ-like love to others. Christian witness is always the first act of evangelisation and is how people strive to live as they respond to the God who dwells within them. When Christians give witness, they become signs and instruments of God s infinite and unconditional love. The second is the Ministry of the Word where words are used to proclaim the Good News in the same way as Jesus did. The forms of Ministry of the Word that are appropriate to Catholic schools include: Primary Proclamation, calling people to accept initial personal relationships with Jesus Christ and share in his divine and saving power. It is a call to relate with Jesus personally and empowers believers to rise above the human tendency to sin so as to continually recreate and renew and become whole persons. Initiatory Catechesis, helping people mature from the initial conversion to Jesus Christ resulting from fruitful primary proclamation to deeper personal relationship with Him. It is an apprenticeship in Christian living and the ways in which the Church community expresses its beliefs, celebrates, lives and prays. Religious Education, sharing the Catholic faith with people by promoting knowledge and understanding of the Gospel and how Christians are called to live the Gospel in today s world. It is the first Learning Area of the Catholic school and has the same demands and rigour of all other Learning Areas. The Church s vision of the Catholic school as a place of evangelisation is an inspiring one. Today s society poses many and varied challenges to Catholic schools in their efforts to be good schools and integrate faith, culture and life. The Catholic identity of the College however continues to evolve so as to reflect the signs of the times and continue to meet the needs of the faith community. The Evangelisation Plan of Chisholm Catholic College gives life to the two basic elements of the evangelisation process. The Plan outlines strategies that will assist the community to Grow in Christ and contribute to bringing the Good News into all the strata of human society, and, through its influence, transforming humanity from within and making it new ((Evangelii Nuntiandi 18).
