The CESA Continuous Improvement Framework for Schools reflects the Mission of Catholic Education SA whereby Catholic schools in partnership with families are communities which create opportunities for encountering life to the full – in all its personal, religious, political and cultural richness. The Framework is part of a system-wide strategy to promote a culture and practice of continuous improvement in schools that has the students at the centre.

The Framework will assist schools to:

•·     Focus on quality teaching and learning to improve student opportunities and learning outcomes and overall school performance; and

•  To satisfy the expectations of government and system authorities in being accountable for the outcomes of schooling.
