Welcome to Parent Talk

IMG_9918.JPG

Welcome to the third edition of Parent Talk for 2023.

This week we celebrate National Volunteers Week and National Families Week. I wish to acknowledge the valuable work undertaken by parents and carers to enhance their children’s learning.

Parents and Carers volunteer in many capacities to assist in their community. The CCSP Council and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Parent Committee comprises volunteers whose contributions benefit all families whose children attend Catholic schools in NSW/ACT. On behalf of parents and carers thank you for your contribution.

Wayne Davie, Chair CCSP and I have just returned from a meeting with The Hon. Prue Car, Deputy Premier, Minister for Education and Early Learning and Western Sydney.

Ms Car is familiar with the work of CCSP, she attended the term 4 2022 CCSP meeting in her capacity as Shadow Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning. We are building on our relationship and continuing to advocate on behalf of parents and carers whose children attend Catholic schools in NSW/ACT.

We are excited about CCSP’s program of parent education. Over 2000 families registered to attend a webinar Anxiety and Resilience with Dr Justin Coulson to  provide strategies to support their children. 

The CCSP survey highlighted there is increasing concern amoung parents and carers about ways they can support their children to have safe gaming experiences online. On 23 May, in conjunction with the eSafety Commissioner we will be presenting a free webinar Getting the most out of gaming.

Hundreds of parents across NSW and ACT have registered to participate in the upcoming literacy event where Corey Tutt will read from his book The First Scientist. Thank you to the Diocesan Directors for their support in promoting this event.

I look forward to attending the Association of Catholic School Principals Conference and promoting the importance of parents and carers.

Keep posted for more parent and carer initiatives that we will be running during 2023.

I pray you will find time in your schedule to enjoy time with your family and friends.

Catherine Garrett-Jones

Executive Director, CCSP
