Roger O’Sullivan

The Family Partnerships Excellence Awards were previously known as the Roger O’Sullivan Award. Throughout his long and distinguished career as an educator, leader and advocate, Roger O’Sullivan made an extraordinary contribution to Catholic education in Australia.

As the first executive director of the Council of Catholic School Parents, Roger built a strong foundation for the voice of parents and carers in Catholic education. In 2014, the Roger O’Sullivan Award was created to recognise and celebrate the myriad ways that Catholic schools, families and communities work together to enhance student learning.

After Roger entered eternal life in 2015, the award was renamed the Roger O’Sullivan Memorial Award for Family, School and Community Partnerships for Learning as a testament to his legacy.

In 2024 the Council voted to rename the awards as the Family Partnerships Excellence Awards.
