International Baccalaureate (IB)

Integrating Faith and Global Education

IB are hosting a faith-based webinar on 28 May 2025, aimed at Catholic school leaders across Australia and Southeast Asia.ÌýANY SCHOOL CAN participate, applying the Professional Development into your context and learning environment.

Endorsement and participation encouragement:

Christina Douglas says,

“I am the National Vice President of the Australian Association for Religious Education, and as I am the person on the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï National Board with the most International Baccalaureate (IB) experience,Ìý let me bring IB to your attention. There are advantages aligning with other organisations in regards to Religious Education in schools. As professionals, we really only benefit from the alliance with IB – a respected and credible globally recognised organisation. I think it is appropriate that all our various denominational member schools and colleges have the opportunity to recieve what IB contribute, something the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï actively goes about finding and promoting to our members, noting that I am currently working at PLC Presbyterian Ladies College.”
