It calls our schools to be beacons of hope, nurturing the whole person — mind, heart, and spirit — and guiding every child toward a life of purpose, love, and service.

Yindyamarra – Respect
“Yindyamarra” — meaning respect in the Wiradjuri language — reflects the spirit in which we live, learn, and work together at St Carlo’s.
As part of Catholic Education Wilcannia-Forbes, we honour the Traditional Custodians of the lands across our Diocese — from Mutti Mutti in the south to Paakantji in the west, with Wiradjuri Country at its heart.
We are committed to walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through truth, respect, and reconciliation, building authentic relationships that enrich our mission of faith and education.
