Welcome to Parent Talk Issue 4 2022

As we fast approach the end of term 2 and the halfway mark of 2022, it has been a busy start to 2022 for CCSP.

We have continued to ensure a strong Catholic parent voice to our politicians during the recent Federal election. CCSP congratulates Anthony Albanese on becoming the Prime Minister of Australia and on the appointment of Mr Jason Clare, MP, as the new Federal Minister for Education. We look forward to working with Minister Clare and the new Federal Government.

CCSP welcomes the recent announcement from the NSW Government to introduce universal pre-Kindergarten for all children in NSW by 2030. This will help children with their preparation and transition to school. We look forward to seeing this policy implemented and will advocate for Catholic schools to be a part of the policy implementation.

During the holidays, communities across Australia will celebrate NAIDOC week. On behalf of CCSP, we hope the celebrations are joyous and well attended and look forward to hearing about all of the great events across NSW and the ACT.

There are many Catholic parents preparing their children for the next stage of their learning journey. Children will soon be making decisions about subject selection for next year, some children are attending careers expos and, of course, our year 12 children preparing for their HSC exams. To assist parents and carers there is an article, with hints and tips to help you discuss career options and subject options with your child, in this issue of Parent Talk. I hope that this can provide you with some new insight and help during this process.

Ransomware is a significant threat facing Australian families, in this Parent Talk is an article and video explaining more about this online crime. CCSP wants to continue supporting parents by educating them on the online dangers families may face in cyberspace.

Vaping continues to be an issue for our young adolescents. Our children are exposed to all sorts of unknown chemicals that can cause serious health issues. In this Parent Talk we again cover the issue to hopefully assist parents who are dealing with children who are vaping. The article includes important evidence-based information from NSW Health about the dangers of vaping with links to fact sheets for parents and carers, and young adults. 

I’d like to encourage all school communities to enter the Roger O’Sullivan Memorial Award for Family, School, and Community Partnerships for Learning. Entries close on the 27 July 2022, for more information about this award read the article later in Parent Talk including an update from 2021 Recipient St Mary's Catholic School, Wellington. 

I would like to again thank all teachers and support staff for their continued care and support for our children in our Catholic schools.

God bless

Wayne Davie

Chair CCSP
