Abstract

[Extract] The advancing tide of ‘no religious’ affiliation and the increased diversity of institutional religious identity in Australia continues to highlight the pervasive reality of a pluralistic society (Bouma & Halafoff, 2017; ABS, 2016; McCrindle, 2017; Independent Schools Council of Australia, 2018). Globalisation through immigration, along with cultural changes, has brought diversity within religions and a plethora of options for religious and non-religious worldviews. Catholic schools are no longer primarily populated by Catholics nor necessarily staffed by practicing Catholics with strong personal faith. Many students in contemporary Catholic schools are products of a de-traditionalising society and often not beneficiaries of religious or other traditions handed down through generations (Boeve, 2012). Modern Catholic schools, however, have evolved with and through the influence of many factors including globalisation, changes in education, a decreased engagement with institutional Church, digital technology advancements and economic and environmental developments, to name a few.
