WILCANNIA-FORBES Diocese has announced what is believed to be the world’s first kindergarten to Year 12 school to be named after a teenage computer programmer beatified by Pope Francis last year.

Blessed Carlo Acutis College will have a liberal arts focus, and Bishop Columba Macbeth-Green of the Diocese of Wilcannia-Forbes hopes to build it in Moama, a fast-growing Riverina town in the southern New South Wales.

“It is an honor to name our school after such an inspiring young person who showed that children and teenagers can live lives devoted to God and to caring for those around them,” Bishop Macbeth-Green said of the new college that will open in 2024.

“All the students will be proud of their school name knowing that they, too, can live inspiring lives for others.”

He said he knows of only one other school named after the young saint-in-the-making, an online school based in Canada.
