Entries open for the 2021 Roger O'Sullivan Memorial Award
The 2021 Roger O’Sullivan Memorial Award for Family, School and Community Partnerships for Learning is awarded to a school community, including parents and carers, that can demonstrate exemplary practice in building partnerships between home and school to enhance the learning outcomes of students. These projects may focus on faith formation, the school curriculum, student wellbeing, or any combination of the three.
At the heart of this award are family, school and community partnerships in which the family and community are authentically engaged.
More than 50 years of research tells us that family, school and community engagement improves student learning outcomes.
Parent bodies and leaders from eligible Catholic school communities are invited to apply for the ROS 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.
