Director of Catholic Education visits 18 schools

The Director of Catholic Education Wilcannia-Forbes, Peggy Saab, recently completed a visit to all eighteen primary schools across the Wilcannia-Forbes diocese.
This diocese covers more than 50 percent of New South Wales and provides essential educational services to 1700 students and their families in rural and remote regions.
During her visits, Mrs Saab covered thousands of kilometres to visit schools as far as Bourke in the West, Brewarrina in the North, Parkes in the East and Broken Hill and Deniliquin in the South.
At each school, she met with students and gained insights into their experiences.
