About this site

Catholic Education is above all a question of communicating Christ, of helping to form Christ in the lives of others. As an ecclesial entity, the Catholic School reflects the nature of the Church.   

It proclaims the word of God in its programmes and activities.  Our R.E. Cafe website aims to provide a supportive network for teachers in our Hamilton Diocese Catholic schools, to collaboratively share best practice and ideas that promote student learning within all R.E contexts.
