As the Church prepares to celebrate the 100th anniversary of World Mission Sunday on 18 October, Pope Leo XIV's theme, "One in Christ, united in mission", reminds us that mission is a shared commitment to bringing God's love into the world through action and service.

In Malawi, Catholic Mission is putting this mission into action through the construction of St Peter's Nyamikuta Primary School. The project will provide classrooms, educational supplies, nutritious meals and shade trees, helping children and families recovering from devastating floods and cyclones access quality education closer to home.

By investing in local school infrastructure and essential learning resources, Catholic Mission is helping children build the foundations for a brighter future.

Catholic Mission invites parishes, families and school communities across Australia to journey with them during World Mission Month.

Celebrating National Skills Week 2026 and this year's theme, Life Changing Skills.

Last year, more than 49,000 Catholic school students across Australia studied VET (Source: NCVER).

Vocational Education and Training (VET) plays a vital role in the senior secondary education offered in Australian Catholic schools, equipping students with practical skills, confidence and real-world experiences that can shape their future careers. The fulfilment of a Catholic education is reflected in the lives students lead beyond school, and meaningful work is an important part of their future.

As Pope Leo XIV reminds us, “Work must be a source of hope and life, allowing the expression of individual creativity and capacity for good.”

Compass Catholic Community student Jarrett has so far completed a Certificate I in Hospitality and a 10-week Try a Trade program, and is currently studying a Certificate II in Cookery. Like thousands of Catholic school students each year, Jarrett has developed valuable skills, explored career possibilities, and is now considering how the skills gained through VET at school will inform his future pathway.

Life-changing skills start with opportunities to learn, grow and discover what's possible.
