Collaborating with Dioceses on Parent Engagement

Peter_Grace_with_Wagga_Wagga_team_Elizabeth_OCarrigan_and_Jenny_Stephens.jpg

During April and May Peter Grace, Executive Director, CCSP, travelled over 2,000 km and visited the office of nine of the eleven Diocesan School Authorities to meet with the Diocesan Director, CCSP Volunteer Parent Representatives and Diocesan Executive Officer. Many topics were addressed during the meetings, a general theme from all dioceses is the shift in focus of the Parents and Friends/parent associations from fundraising to one more focused on students' learning outcomes and faith formation.

Other topics discussed included:

  • Development of resources for parents to use in the lead up to the Federal election.
    • CCSP will provide material containing information such as the various parties' positions on issues affecting Catholic schools, and tips for contacting local canditiates. 
  • Models of parent representation and, as applicable, establishing a Diocesan Parent Organisation Body
  • Increasing Inter-diocesan collaboration, and CCSP's hosting of regular meetings to faciliate this collaboration

Evident in every meeting was the willingness of all parties to collaborate on parent engagement initiatives to best serve the interests of children in Catholic schools.
