EDLE638 Faith Leadership
10 cp
Faith leadership focuses on sharing the Catholic faith with the intention of influencing and enriching the lives of students, staff and other members of the school community. This dimension of leadership provides educational opportunities for members of the school community to encounter the Catholic faith, to experience its gift and to enhance life decisions in response to it. Guided by faith, hope and love, faith leaders support a community of life and worship through which to recognise, to accept and to cooperate with the mysterious action of God in our lives (A Framework for Leadership in Queensland Catholic Schools, 2004, p. 23).
This unit investigates the relevance of faith and the contested concept of the Catholic school as a faith community in post-modern, multicultural Australia. The challenges of exercising faith leadership at every level within the school will be explored. Current literature, scripture, theology and Church documents will inform this study.
