About the Catholic Schools Office

The Catholic Schools Office of the Archdioceses of Pretoria and Johannesburg serves the interests of Catholic education. We carry out the directives of the Catholic Schools Board in our member schools.

What we do

In nurturing the well-being of our member schools, we are guided by the Vision and Direction Statements of the Second National Catholic Schools Congress. Our main concerns for our member schools are:

  • that their Catholic ethos and identity flourishes
  • that they deliver quality education
  • that their ongoing financial viability is ensured

To assist schools in these endeavours, the CSO offers various support services and employs five full-time staff and a part-time secretary. The Catholic Schools Office operates from an office located in The Haven building at St Vincent School for the Deaf in Melrose, Johannesburg, and a satellite office in Jolivet House, the archdiocesan chancery in Pretoria .

Unity, collaboration, representation

We also seek to promote unity of vision and collaboration among Catholic Schools. One of the means for achieving this is the Catholic Schools Councils (CSC) and their various groupings.

We represent Catholic schools on various bodies:

  • Within the Church, we network with the owners of the schools through CaSPA and the Catholic Schools Board, and liaise with our bishops through their diocesan Heads of Department Meetings.
  • In the broader education sector, we contribute to Catholic perspectives within the national educational debate; we co-operate with other bodies to promote quality education in South Africa; we make joint representation with other educational bodies to the provincial education authorities, and monitor national and provincial legislation which affects Catholic schools.

Background

With decreasing numbers of sisters and brothers from religious congregations able to have a hands-on presence in Catholic schools, there was a need to establish a guardianship to preserve and continue the development of Catholic Education.

  • More on the background to the Catholic Schools Office

Catholic Network Structures

There are a number of bodies in the Catholic Education network - Catholic School Proprietors Association, Catholic Schools Board, Catholic Schools Office, Catholic Schools Councils and Catholic Institute of Education.

  • More on the Catholic Network Structures

Catholic Schools Councils

The Catholic Schools Councils provide a forum for staff from member schools to come together for fellowship, to grow professionally, to collaborate on matters of common interest and to seek unity of vision.
