Catholic Education Melbourne UAT - Catholic Education Melbourne UAT

News and Events > RE Conference 2018 > Conference Streams

Conference workshops are in five streams to highlight the dimensions identified in the Horizons of Hope Foundation Statement: The Religious Dimension of the Catholic School:

Praying	Through prayer, the sacred is acknowledged, assented to and celebrated.
Learning	Learning as an encounter is a dialogical, relational and optimistic pedagogy, one that opens up horizons of hope for the future for the individual learner, their school, the Church and the wider community.
Celebrating	Celebrations of liturgy and sacraments are part of the formal, public prayer and worship of the Church.
Belonging	Belonging in a Catholic school community anchors the individual and collective identity in God through the story of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
Reaching Out	The Catholic school responds to a call to service, not just as a moral duty or obligation, but in a spirit of joyful loving that responds to the presence of God in each person encountered.

Registration Desk
The Registration Desk is located inside the main dining room and will be attended from 8.00 am to 10.00 am both days of the conference.

Delegate Passport
All registered conference participants will be issued with a delegate passport upon registration. This pass will include your name, school, parish or organisation and your selection of workshops/masterclasses and their corresponding location.

Do you hear the bell?
The CLC bell will be rung in between sessions to encourage delegates to make their way promptly to the next session. So if you hear the bell, it’s time to move on!
