CARDIJN COLLEGE
Strategic Plan
Our Cardijn Way fosters a culture of belonging and aspiration. We work in partnership to encourage, enable, and support students, families, and staff to live faithfully and with integrity.
We do this in the context of three unique campuses:
- Marian (Years 7 – 12, Noarlunga Downs)
- Marcellin (Trade Training Years 10 – 12 and Apprentices, Christie Downs)
- Galilee (Reception – Year 9, Aldinga).
Cardijn offers multiple, inclusive and diverse pathways in alignment with a foundational tenet that there is Unity in Diversity!
Vision & Mission
Towards 2027 Vision
Cardijn College will be a place of belonging and holistic engagement across our Catholic faith-based school such that aspirational intentions are achieved within and beyond the school gate through quality learning – a journey in partnership with families and the broader community of the Southern Vales!
Towards 2027 Mission
Animated by our Cardijn and Marist charisms and in partnership with our families, our College is a community which creates opportunities for encountering life to the full – in all its personal, religious, political, ecological and cultural richness. (adapted from CESA’s Towards 2027)
