Enrich the World

Download the Strategy

MACS 2030: Forming Lives to Enrich the World is a strategic plan that will help all Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) staff come together to make the most of what a Catholic education has to offer, so we can have the greatest and most distinctive impact in our classrooms, staffrooms and school communities.

We are at the start of our journey, with much work to do. Join us as we move forward in the light of Jesus Christ.

MACS holds the care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people as central and fundamental to all that we do. This commitment is inherent in the teaching and mission of Jesus Christ, with love, justice and the sanctity of each human person at the heart of the gospel.

Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge that Catholic schools and offices in the Archdiocese of Melbourne are situated on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung, Bunurong, Wadawurrung, Dja Dja Wurrung and Taungurung peoples of the Kulin Nations, who have walked upon and cared for this land since time immemorial.

We acknowledge their continued deep spiritual connection and relationship to Country.

We pay respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, and commit to the ongoing journey of reconciliation, of truth-telling and deep listening, working together for justice.
