2015
Acknowledgment of country and traditional owners
We acknowledge and pay respects to the traditional custodians, past and present of this land – who long before us lived, loved and raised their children. We also acknowledge the Aboriginal families in our community of schools and acknowledge their physical and spiritual connection to their land. We come together with these families - to learn, to share and to journey with them.

2. COUNCIL OF CATHOLIC SCHOOL PARENTS NSW/ACT | 2015 ANNUAL REPORT
Chair’s Message This is my final message as CCSP Chair and I am drawn to reflect on the organisation that is the CCSP and wonder at the wisdom, commitment and insight of the individuals that sit around the table. It has been a privilege to work with each and every one and I am humbled by their belief in me during that time but know that the good work of the CCSP will continue through the various chairs and committees just as it has done for the past 20 years. Phil Billington, who was charged with conducting the Review of the CCSP has handed down her preliminary observations to the Council and offered her own reflection on the group who is taking carriage of this process and those who have gone before:
Trevor Kellam CHAIR
CCSP is an amazing organisation built on the vision, energy and passion of women and men who believe in families - you are all not only keeping that alive but having the courage to be open to the recommendations of the Review to take it to where it needs to be today to serve the needs of families now, especially those who are on the margins. I couldn’t have said it better myself, and so I extend my good wishes to the incoming Chair, Neisha Licitra, the new management committee and dedicated volunteers that come to our table to continue the great work they do at the grass roots level which give the CCSP its authenticity and vitality. Trevor Kellam, Chair 3. CHAIR’S MESSAGE | Council of Catholic School Parents NSW/ACT
Executive Director’s Message In what was its 20th year of operation, the CCSP devoted its energy to some serious introspection for its second review in 20 years. It was a wonderful time of engagement with Bishops and Directors in each diocese, with old friends and associates and many new contacts with parents and schools staff. Outgoing Chair Trevor Kellam initiated the Review at the end of last year and over the course of 2015 worked with Reviewer Phil Billington and Council members to ensure that the depth and quality of the data collected provided rich material for the CCSP going forward.
Linda McNeil EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
And so begins the work of Chair Elect Neisha Licitra (Archdiocese of Sydney), to pilot the group through this next phase of implementation along with the Council who have worked tirelessly to build relationships, start conversations, share information and give life to the work of the CCSP so it continues to have relevance for all stakeholders beyond 2015. Neisha will be supported in this task by Deputy Chair, Donna Falzon (Broken Bay) and management committee of Lynn McKinnon (Parramatta), Ali Cant (Bathurst), Alison Nunn (Wilcannia-Forbes) and Narelle Burke (Armidale). Congratulations to all on your election to the CCSP executive and welcome to all CCSP Council members for 2016.
4. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE | Council of Catholic School Parents NSW/ACT
2015 also saw a Review initiated by the Bishops of NSW and ACT of the Catholic Education Commission NSW, the structure of Catholic schools and systems and funding distribution which has been coordinated by Kathryn Greiner. The CCSP had an opportunity for some input to the process and is confident it is well-placed to walk alongside Catholic education into the future. On a personal note, I was fortunate to attend the Family and Community Engagement Conference in Chicago where more than 1100 educators, parent leaders, community partners and district leaders from 47 states, Australia (me) the Netherlands, and the Philippines gathered in Chicago in June. The enthusiasm and joy at the conference was infectious and I came away with a deep sense of appreciation for the good state of education in NSW and Australia and a renewed regard for the persistent commitment of parents in the USA who fight just to get a decent education for their children. A very special thank you to Trevor Kellam for his commitment to seeing through this process of renewal for the CCSP in its 20th year and also to outgoing Chair of the ATSI Committee Sharon Cooke for her gentle stewardship of the ATSI Committee for so many years. You have both left an indelible impression on the Council with your great contribution to the Catholic schools community. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the CCSP staff for their work this year which has been above and beyond the call of duty. Our dynamic team of Cathie Renfrew, Marian Ibrahim, and Sue Finn have been a tremendous support for me and for the Council and we are very grateful for the wonderful work they do. Thank you also to the Catholic Education Commission NSW personnel who are always generous with their support and advice as well as treating us as genuine partners. I would also like to thank our major sponsor Australian Catholic Superannuation and Retirement Fund for their generous support. Linda McNeil, Executive Direcor
5. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE | Council of Catholic School Parents NSW/ACT
ATSI CHAIR’S MESSAGE 2015 was a year in which we saw the number of children of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) background enrolled in Catholic schools in NSW reach record levels. Two decades after the CCSP was first formed, the number of indigenous children enrolled in NSW Catholic schools has quadruped to nearly 4000 students, comprising 2.7% of all enrolments in our state’s Catholic schools. Representing the interests of these indigenous children and their parents and carers is an important element of the ATSI Parent Committee’s work, ensuring they have a voice in Catholic education.
Sharon Cooke CHAIR, ATSI PARENT COMMITTEE
One of the issues brought to our attention during 2015 was the lack of student participation in TAFE-delivered Vocational Education and Training (TVET) courses and the costs associated with these courses. Advice from communities to many of the ATSI committee members was that while Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in NSW may be exempt from paying the fees, this exemption is not offered to all of our Catholic schools. It was reported that some Dioceses covered the cost, but not all. We have raised this issue with our TAFE contacts, as it could significantly impact on school retention, career options and pathways for our ATSI students. Another important issue raised at our committee related to the availability of the Stage 6 Aboriginal Studies course for the state’s HSC students. Our concern is that the majority of the state’s Catholic secondary schools are not able to offer this Aboriginal Studies
6. ATSI PARENT COMMITTEE CHAIR’S MESSAGE | Council of Catholic School Parents NSW/ACT
Celebrating 20 years!
as there is a shortage of teachers qualified to teach this highly academic, online course. We believe this is an issue that impacts on all NSW high school students. This course provides the opportunity for young people to engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and allows students to critically examine their role as active and informed citizens in Australia today and puts them in a position to make decisions, as adults, in our contemporary world, with knowledge and understanding of our history. One of the highlights for 2015 was attending the Biennial NSWCEC Aboriginal Education Workers Conference (AEWC) in Wagga Wagga. It was an uplifting and motivating weekend, with workshops and presentations built around the conference theme: “Spirit Walks in Two Worlds”. The ATSI Parent Committee’s Karan Taylor and CCSP Executive Director, Linda McNeil, co-presented a parent-focused workshop and the CCSP sponsored the conference bags, which were stocked with ATSI parent resources relating to school attendance, enrolment issues and parent engagement. The ATSI Parent Committee also participated in the CCSP’s review, taking part in the Review’s first focus group with Phil Barrington, which Phil remarked as having great meaning. Members of the ATSI CCSP attended the 2015 Biennial Parent Assembly. It was wonderful to have so many representatives from our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities bringing a valued voice to the Conference. At our AGM in December, Kelly Humphrey was nominated and elected as the ATSI Chair for 2016. Kelly Humphrey is a Kamilaroi woman and the very proud mother of two beautiful children. In Kelly’s capacity as the Education Officer Aboriginal Education in the Wagga Wagga Diocese, she is the nominated representative for Wagga Wagga on the NSW CEC Aboriginal Education Committee. Kelly also currently holds membership on the Educational Policy Committee for the NSWCEC where she brings both an Aboriginal and parent perspective to policy development. We wish Kelly well in her role as the 2016 Chair for the ATSI Parent Committee. And finally, I would like to thank all the committee members that I have been fortunate to work with during my past eight years as Chair. It has been an honour and a privilege. Sharon Cooke, Chair, ATSI Parent Committee
7. ATSI PARENT COMMITTEE CHAIR’S MESSAGE | Council of Catholic School Parents NSW/ACT
About Us The CCSP is the leading voice for Catholic parents in NSW and the ACT, providing leadership, advocacy and support. We are the largest non-government parent body in NSW and the ACT, representing the interests of parents of more than 250,000 Catholic school students in nearly 600 schools across 11 dioceses. For more than 20 years we have been advocating for parents and we produce a range of resources to suit the needs of all stakeholders in Catholic education - parents, parent associations, principals, teachers, school executives and diocesan education office personnel. The NSW Catholic Bishops Conference and the Catholic Education Commission NSW support us in our work. The CCSP is a private association within the Church and is incorporated under the Roman Catholic Church Communities’ Land Act 1942, no 23. The CCSP is led and supported by a Chairperson, Deputy Chair, State Council, Management Committee, Executive Director and a Secretariat.
8 . ABOUT US | Council of Catholic School Parents NSW/ACT
The CCSP membership is made up of representatives from the 11 dioceses in NSW and the ACT, a Congregational Schools representative and a representative of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) Parent Committee. These representatives sit on our State Council, which is the decision-making body of the CCSP. Two of these representatives are elected to the position of Chairperson and Deputy Chair. An Executive Officer from the Catholic Schools Office in each diocese is also invited to attend CCSP State Council meetings, in an ex officio role. The Chairperson, Deputy Chair and four elected representatives from the State Council, comprise the Management Committee, which is responsible for running the business of the State Council. In 2015, the CCSP Secretariat comprised an Executive Director, Website Manager and Executive Assistant with additional support provided by a Communications Consultant.
Celebrating 20 years! “I hear from parents of schools students all the time and from groups such as the Council of Catholic School Parents. The CCSP is a great advocate… they are always keen to know how they can do more to support their students and how we at BOSTES can work with them. I appreciate and welcome their views.” Tom Alegounarias, BOSTES President
The CCSP in 2015 Reflecting Forward
It Takes a Village
2015 was deemed the year of reflection for the CCSP and, two decades after it was first formed, the CCSP undertook an extensive review of its structure, purpose and operations.
More than 200 parents, educators, presenters and clergy attended the 11th Biennial CCSP Conference, hosted by the Lismore Parent Assembly in May 2015.
This comprehensive process, involving a series of interviews, focus groups and an online survey with key stakeholders, was expertly guided by Phil Billington, former Director of Catholic Education, Diocese of Sandhurst (Victoria). The final report of the Review, “Reflecting Forward”, was presented to the CCSP State Council in November 2015.
The two day conference was attended by delegates from across Australia and featured an impressive program of speakers including parenting expert Michael Grose, author and motivator Bruce Sullivan, cyber safety expert, Brett Lee and Father Elio Capra. Keynote presentations were interspersed throughout the weekend with a series of workshops focusing on the conference theme, “It takes a Village”. Among the many highlights were the angelic voices of the St Augustine’s choir, who featured in the official opening, and the CCSP’s 20th Birthday Celebrations at the Official Conference Dinner.

Partnerships State Election 2015
Diocesan School Communities
In partnership with the Catholic Education Commission (CEC NSW), the CCSP developed a State Election Tool Kit to assist parents lobby and inform their local MP about funding priorities for Catholic schools. The CCSP’s message to the major parties focused on two key issues increased capital funding and a fairer planning system for Catholic schools. More than 1200 election tool kits were distributed to schools, parent associations, Council reps and parents in the lead up to the election.
2015 provided various opportunities for the CCSP to partner with a number of diocesan educational offices.
Following the election of the Coalition Government, the focus shifted to educating newly elected Members of Parliament about the intricacies of school funding, particularly in relation to non-government schools. Meanwhile, the CCSP continued to lobby the Federal government to commit to school funding that would meet the real costs of education beyond 2017. A one-year funding increase announced in the 2015-2016 Federal Budget did little to allay fears about the medium and long term funding for all Australian schools. 10. PARTNERSHIPS | Council of Catholic School Parents NSW/ACT
At the invitation of David Adams-Jones, principal of St Patrick’s Primary School in Griffith, Linda McNeil and Trevor Kellam recorded podcasts for the transition to school radio program on “Building Positive Relationships” and the “Role of Families”. This was part of “The Community of Catholic Primary Schools Transition Program from Preschool to Primary School” initiative in the Wagga Wagga diocese which included a series of radio segments on local radio station, 99.7 Star FM. When the call was put out by the CCSP to create resources to aid families with numeracy, two dioceses responded and the result was a series of videos aptly titled ‘Connecting U 4 Learning’. Teachers from the Bathurst and Canberra Goulburn Dioceses created videos during class time explaining maths concepts, to help parents engage with their child’s learning.
These videos which have become a valuable resource for parents and schools can be found on the partners4learning website. In November 2015, the CCSP officially launched the “Better Together” website at the Catholic Education Office in Armidale. The creation of this website came from the partnership between the CCSP and the Armidale and Broken Bay Catholic Education Offices. It is a rich and plentiful resource for Catholic school boards, councils and P&F Associations. The CCSP supported the Secretariat and a number of Diocesan Executive Officers from Broken Bay, Maitland-Newcastle and Wollongong to take part in a “Collaboration Conversations” Program at the Australian Catholic University in April 2015. The program provided practical steps to achieving more productive and meaningful outcomes from conversations with peers, schools, parents, partners and other important stakeholders. Four of the participants are now trained to run “Collaborative Conversations” workshops with parents of Catholic school students.
Connecting with parents The CCSP made a concerted effort in 2015 to make better use of social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook to interact with parents, teachers, educators and the media, resulting in a steady but significant increase in those ‘following’ the CCSP. This enhanced our capacity to connect parents to online resources, advice and support relating to their child’s learning journey, especially those in rural and remote regions. We also utilised our social media presence to promote content being distributed via our regular electronic newsletters, CCSP e-News and Parent Talk. At the same time, the CCSP launched a new monthly column, “Parenting Matters” in The Catholic Weekly (print and online). The Catholic Weekly newspaper is a read by more than 42,000 people each week and has more than 1,200 online subscribers. The CCSP’s “Parenting Matters” column has covered important issues such as teens, technology and mental health, Internet safety, HSC survival tips for parents and being Catholic in the 21st century.
11. PARTNERSHIPS | Council of Catholic School Parents NSW/ACT
Synod on the Family In early 2015, Australia’s Catholic families were called on to take part in a worldwide survey on the “beauty, role and the dignity of the family” in the lead up to the Synod on the Family in Rome. Australian families were specifically asked to respond to 30 questions compiled by The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, which would help shape the Australian response to the Synod. The CCSP urged parents of Catholic school students to have a say on some the most important and pivotal issues facing modern Catholic families. Information about the survey was included on the CCSP website and via CCSP e-News.
Indigenous Education in action More than 120 Aboriginal education workers from around NSW attended the NSWCEC Aboriginal Education Workers Conference (AEWC) - “The Spirit Moves in Two Worlds”. The AWEC program focused on “Attendance & Parent Engagement” and was hosted by the Diocese of Wagga Wagga. CCSP Acting Executive Director, Linda McNeil, was amongst those presenting at the conference. 12. PARTNERSHIPS | Council of Catholic School Parents NSW/ACT
National Parent Engagement Research Project The CCSP was invited by the Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (ARACY) to participate in a nationwide project exploring parent engagement in children’s learning and education. The Commonwealth Government engaged ARACY to undertake the four-year research project in consultation with key stakeholders in education. The project’s aim is to provide practical tools to support partnerships between families, teachers, schools and communities in order to maximise children’s learning and wellbeing outcomes. It will also explore parent engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, as well as in culturally and linguistically diverse families and communities.
“The CCSP continues to play a vital role in representing and supporting Catholic School parents… Advocacy from the CCSP is integral to ensuring that Catholic school parents’ voices are heard and acknowledged by the State and Federal governments.” Greg Whitby, Director, Catholic Schools Office, Diocese of Parramatta Linda McNeil with Karen Mapp at the Family and Community Engagement Conference in Chicago.
Roger O’Sullivan Award
National Catholic Parent body
The annual Roger O’Sullivan Award continues to highlight outstanding examples of home, school and community partnerships in our Catholic community. In 2015, a record number of applications were received for the award, with the judges commenting on the high standard of each and every submission. The winner of the 2015 Roger O’Sullivan Award was St Brigid’s Catholic Primary School, Kyogle.
The CCSP is a founding member of Catholic School Parents Australia (CSPA),which met four times in 2015. Guests who attended the meetings were: Federal Senator Scott Ryan, NCEC Executive Director, Ross Fox, Francis Sullivan from the Truth Justice and Healing Council, Rob Randall from ACARA, Stacey Fox from ARACY and our main sponsor, Cameron Wood, from Australian Catholic Superannuation and Retirement Fund. A new Executive Officer John O’Brien was welcomed to the group.
