Catholic Education
The Catholic education programme falls under the main responsibility of the School Chaplaincy Team (SCT). The Catholic teachers play an important role in ensuring that Catholic students receive a holistic spiritual education in the school through its programmes, activities and formal lessons, in alignment with the Catholic churches’ vision for its Catholic mission schools. As part of our own faith journey, staff participate in a retreat organized by our sister school (KCP) and sessions by ACCS and IJ where relevant.
Prayer Services
Catholic students are invited to attend weekly prayer sessions in the Chapel to instill a sense of eternity through the need to connect themselves with God. These sessions are led by the Catholic Support Leaders (CSLs) and held on Wednesdays from 7:15-7:30 a.m.
Catholic Connect
This is a weekly programme to establish a Catholic student community rooted in faith through fellowship and being immersed in the Gospel. This is led by members of the Young Christian Student (YCS) Movement and facilitated by the Catholic Support Leaders and parent volunteers. Sessions are held every Thursday from 7:35-8:35 a.m. This is the main platform through which the Gospels of St Mark and St Luke are taught to the students.
Catholic Education Sunday
As part of our service to the community, together with our sisters from CHIJ Katong (Primary), Catholic Support Leaders in KC serve at Catholic Education Sunday mass as part of the choir, hospitality and lector teams.
Retreats for Catholic students
Conducted at the end of the year to deepen faith and camaraderie. Retreats
may be conducted by the Catholic teachers or by external Catholic trainers.
