2025 Family Partnerships and Excellence Award

Parent bodies and leaders from eligible NSW/ACT Catholic school communities are invited to apply for the Family Partnerships and Excellence Award by demonstrating how a partnership-focused initiative has enhanced student learning outcomes. The initiative must be an authentic parent engagement project. Ideally, it will have been parent-initiated, but this is not essential so long as parents have been collaborative partners and authentically engaged throughout the life of the project.

The First Place award recipient will receive:

$5000 to support the further development of an existing initiative which aims to build parent and community engagement through collaborative partnerships
a framed award
Publicity campaign including a feature article in CCSP's Parent Talk, and social media posts

The independent judging panel may use their discretion to give additional awards and prize money.
