VIP (Vocational, Inspired, Prophetic):

Early Career Teachers Spiritual and Religious Formation

Date: 5pm Thursday 9 June - 3pm Friday 10 June

Venue: The Monastery, 15 Cross Road, Urrbrae SA 5064 

A Retreat experience providing faith formation for teachers early in their careers in Catholic Education. 

We acknowledge the valuable work that  schools offer in inducting, mentoring and developing passionate teachers and recognise the opportunities and challenges experienced in this space. This offering aims to support this through the provision of targeted and specialised spiritual and religious formation for early career teachers.

Through this residential program we aim to support and companion teachers early in their career in Catholic Education (less than 5 years in the sector) who are employed in a Catholic school in 2022.

This Spiritual and Religious Formation will provide an opportunity to: 

• Provide enhanced spiritual and religious formation as part of their induction into Catholic Education South Australia
• Provide pastoral, spiritual and mentoring support for new teachers to the sector
• Companion participants to support their ongoing formation
• Inspire personal faith and prayer life of educators
• Deepen teachers’ experience and understandings in order to support their key role as educators and witnesses within the Catholic school environment
• Collect data to map longitudinal impact of formation programs on teacher satisfaction and commitment in supporting the mission and vision of their schools and Catholic Education South Australia
• Develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of the vision and values of Catholic Education South Australia

CESA will cover the costs including program materials, accommodation, catering and one days TRT.
