Since Karl’s appointment, he has been doing sterling work in the Diocese, and this is a wonderful recognition of his ongoing commitment to Catholic Education. Diocesan Director of Education, Kieron Flood, said:

‘I am really pleased that Mr Mackey has been selected to undertake this prestigious scholarship. His choice of research is of such importance to the work and mission of our Catholic Schools. Karl has always put young people at the heart of his work in strengthening the Catholic Mission of the school and this has been central to the school’s continued journey of improvement. This scholarship, only awarded to a select group of outstanding leaders, is testament to his dedication to the community he serves. I look forward to reading his thesis and sharing it across our wider Diocese to understand how we can further support the most vulnerable in our communities.’
