Pathways to Flourishing: Meeting the Needs of Diverse Learners K–12

We are pleased to extend an invitation to a wider audience for this valuable professional learning day, recognising its relevance across the interconnected areas of student faith, learning and wellbeing. While this day is a mandatory learning opportunity for Primary Leaders of Diverse Learning and Primary Support Class Staff, it will also offer significant value for colleagues in primary and secondary settings across wellbeing, pastoral care and curriculum leadership.

By bringing together leaders from both primary and secondary settings, this day provides a unique opportunity to deepen collaboration, strengthen shared understandings and bridge the gap between diverse learning, curriculum and wellbeing support. We encourage Leaders of Wellbeing/Pastoral Care and Curriculum to attend alongside their Diverse Learning colleagues, as we collectively work to respond to the complex and evolving needs of the students and staff in our care.

Audience: K–12 Diverse Learning, Support Class Teachers, Pastoral Care/Wellbeing Leaders (Optional), and Curriculum Leaders (Optional)

Outline

This professional learning day explores the Christian call to cooperate with all people in promoting human flourishing, right relationships, and the common good—key themes that connect deeply with the study of God, religion, and life. Central to the day are the guiding questions: Who ought I be? and How must I respond?

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the scriptural and theological foundations of Catholic Social Teaching. The day will also offer a solid introduction to the Life to the Full Framework, supporting those seeking to integrate it into curriculum design and pastoral care initiatives.

Additionally, this professional learning experience will enrich the teaching of Religious Education Strand E across Stages 4 and 5, while also providing valuable insights and practical support for those involved in social justice initiatives and youth ministry coordination.
