During 2026 and beyond, schools will be able to book deep-dive presentations on Scripture based on the popular "Great Adventure” series, which provides an overview of the Bible from Genesis to Jesus. This will be available either as a 1-hour staff meeting or full spirituality day format. 

Schools wishing to book this study series may contact Robert Haddad on 0408 250 727 or robert.haddad@scs.catholic.edu.au. This service is provided for free and equates to 1 or 4.5 hours of formation for RE currency. 

Schools wishing to take students, staff or parents to St Mary’s Cathedral can contact the Mission and Identity Directorate for a guided tour of the Cathedral Crypt. This tour (in addition to a guided tour of the main body of the Church, booked through the Cathedral) will provide commentary on the history of the Crypt, its construction, the style of architecture, the imagery of the great Celtic Cross floor, the images within the many medallions, the early history of the Catholic Church in NSW, the early priests and bishops of the Colony, the burial plots of previous Archbishops and Cardinals, and the various artworks and statues adorning the Crypt. The tour will be interactive and allow participants to contribute in shared discussions, and question and answer sessions.

Length of tour: 45-60 minutes.

Accreditation: Participation in this retreat equates to 1 hour of formation for RE Currency.
