Academic Staff

Dr. Monica Dutton has extensive experience in Catholic education through teaching, leadership and consultancy roles in primary, secondary and tertiary settings.  Her doctoral thesis focuses on the contribution of short-term cross-cultural immersion to the formation of Catholic school staff.

Monica has a passionate interest formation and immersion, and has led groups of staff and students to various communities in Australia, across the Asia-Pacific region and Africa; and pilgrimages to Europe for governance and leadership personnel.  Monica has been involved in a range of social justice initiatives and is acutely aware of the long-term impact of experiential learning and its pivotal role in the transformation of individuals and communities. Her belief is that formation is central to the lived experience of Catholic school communities and that ultimately, it profoundly enhances an understanding of, and participation in, God’s mission in the world today.
