Excellent processes, care for well-being and expertise at the top

Teacher (Current Employee) - Wide Bay-Burnett QLD - 5 May 2023

Working at CathEd has always proven to be a pleasure.Staff are happy and friendly.Teams are productive and look after each other.The learning is 100% effective because the standards set for leaders and staff is high and everyone is accountable through clear expectations, good professional development and genuinely good relationships with the students at the heart of every decision. All Catholic schools in Wide Bay set the bar high for some other schools who might look great and very affordable but barely practice what they preach.

Pros

Staff, students are lovely

Not A Happy Place

Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - Dutton Park QLD - 21 October 2022

Most of the people are lovely. But not a happy working environment. Used to be a good place to work. It was like having a government position. You felt secure and valued in your job. Not now. And going to work every day not feeling valued or secure in your position makes for a very stressful environment.

Pros

Some really lovely people.

Cons

Very stressful place to work.

Positive work culture

Relief Teacher (Current Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 10 December 2019

Excellent work culture. Staff are treated with respect. I feel like I am a valued member of the team. I learnt more about Catholic Education. The most enjoyable aspect of the job is working with students who love to learn!

Whilst it can be welcoming and open, each school is different. Head office and schools are run very differently from each other.

Work Health and Safety Officer (Current Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 26 September 2019

As a school Officer working as a WHSO the pay is frightful. If I worked in head office doing this job I would be paid $50000 more. But we are on very basic wage and bring in $25_28k a year. Most of the schools I work at are great and very friendly and welcoming.

Pros

Most people are great to work with

Cons

If in a school based position, school Officer pay is abominable

Relief Teacher (Former Employee) - Logan City QLD - 14 August 2018

Very enjoyable to get back into the classroom once again after many years of administrative work. I enjoyed being able to work on the days I choose and the year levels I found most enjoyable. The hardest part of the job was to bring myself up to date with some of the new technology used in today's classroom

Pros

students were beautiful, some teachers shouldn't be teachers

School Officer (Former Employee) - Burpengary QLD - 28 August 2017

Very rewarding work, the majority of students very thankful and lovely. Most teachers are dedicated, however, some shouldn't be in education. Brisbane Catholic Education can be a very nurturing environment for students. The hours are great for teacher aides, school hours. Good family and work life balance. Very diverse work, classroom, playground, library, assisting students academically and emotionally. Also with emotional support very rewarding.

Pros

the students, great hours for employees with families

Over all a positive experience with teachers and students.

Teacher (Former Employee) - AU - 14 March 2016

The typical days was very busy preparing work for students. There seemed to be not enough time to complete all the work tasks. The hardest part of the job was dealing with discipline problems. I enjoyed the professional staff.
