Re-Connect and Accompaniment for graduates of NSF

The NSF National Network

Leaders who have graduated from the NSF programme, in co-operation with EducareM, lead the NSF National Network to ensure that Catholic leaders receive the continued inspiration, support and accompaniment that they deserve.

Members of the NSF network are closely involved in the formation of others in Catholic education – making a difference in the effectiveness of Catholic education. They also contribute as writers and advocates for the development and promotion of Catholic education.

The network is active in providing INSET days for leaders with informed and stimulating speakers, working groups that develop specific curriculum for Catholic schools and a team who can provide tailored school based in-service. Some colleagues write articles for prominent publications, support their diocese and local school groups and have a positive presence on social media.

This new NSF National Network is open to all leaders in Catholic education. It exists to provide those transformational experiences, so richly coveted by all its members and offer ongoing formational support with a spirit of generosity. The formation of our school leaders is critical to the mission of Catholic education and the transformation of our society. We have to restate the prophetic purpose of education in our schools, which is broader and deeper than the prevalent short term thinking and economic narrative that dominates the landscape. Our schools require a visionary and dynamic leadership model with a coherent rationale focused on the transformation of the human person and the transformation of society.

It is incumbent on us in the National School of Formation, as it is on all Catholics educators, to recognise that they are part of this endeavour and to work tirelessly to support each other.
