Growing Deep - Strategic Formation in your School

A program for school leadership teams to use the Growing Deep Catholic Identity and Mission Strategic Planning Suite to analyse, understand, strategise and lead the enhancement of Catholic Identity and effective formation in their schools.  

The program will begin in August 2025 and run until March 2026. Using The Provocations Guide and The School Reflection Guide, leaders will identify Catholic Identity and Mission (CIM) goals for their 2026 annual plan and will use The System Support Guide to consider the practical pathways for ‘growing deep’ in the areas the school has identified.

The program is open to all schools and will involve evaluation of your 2025 Annual Improvement Plan and analysis of your school data in the Catholic Identity domain (including Living, Learning, Leading surveys, Pulse Check In data, ReLAT, RE Report results, recent ECSI Report if applicable).

This professional learning community (PLC) is a shared strategic and formational experience for school leadership teams to attend together. It is strongly recommended that at least two members of your leadership team attend all sessions, with one being the APRIM. Members of the PLC will consider their own individual spiritual growth (My story), their strategic work in enhancing the Catholic Identity of your school (Our Story), and connecting to God’s mission that all people know themselves to be known and loved by God (The Story).
