Lent is more than a season on the Church's calendar. It is an invitation to return to the heart of God. In this episode we explore Lent as a sacred journey of honesty, renewal, and quite transformation. We'll consider how the spirit of Lent can shape the Religious Life of the School and the teaching of Religious Education in ways that are authentic, age-appropriate, and spiritually formative. This episode invites educators to lead from the inside out - to model faith that is lived before it is taught and making their classroom become places where transformation is possible.

We talk about charism a lot in Catholic Schools. But have you ever wondered what effect a community deeply embracing their School's charism can have? And how charism might make a difference to the Religious Life of your school, or in your students or classroom? In this episode we talk to Formation and Engagement Services Team member, Susie Anderson in which she talks about what charism is and what it means when she says "Charism is the heartbeat of a School."

Identity is vital. So, it's worth asking the question "Who are we as Catholic Schools?" And what does this mean to how we operate in the classroom, the playground, with families, and in the staffroom? In this episode, Mark talks to Sharon O'Keeffe, Formation and Engagement Executive at Brisbane Catholic Education, about what it means to be a Catholic School/College in the Archdiocese of Brisbane.
