Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to our In-Service programme 2008-2009.
We have responded to the suggestions made to us during the past academic year and put together a programme with a specific emphasis on the spiritual development of the Catholic Leader and Catholic Teacher. These days are designed to nurture a deeper understanding of our own spirituality and consequently to renew our service in the Catholic schools in which we work.
We will continue to review and grow our In-Service provision so that it meets the needs of all who work in our schools. It is important therefore that you feedback to us how the courses could be improved and any other areas which you would find helpful in meeting the developmental and spiritual needs of those working in our school communities.
Please complete the attached application form to apply for any of the courses. The closing date for applications for each course is 2 weeks before the beginning of the course. The exception to this is the Summer Retreat where we need to know numbers before May 31^st 2009. For further details or clarification on any course content please contact me at the above address.
With best wishes,
Deirdre Rowe
