The Council of Catholic School Parents [CCSP] was formed in 1995. It is a private association within the Church and is incorporated in NSW under the Roman Catholic Church Communities’ Lands Act 1942. Its mandate is set out in its Constitution.

The CCSP is the officially recognised body representing the interests of parents with children in Catholic schools in the dioceses of NSW and the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn.

In 2011 the Council secretariat comprised a full-time Executive Director, a part-time Communications and Development Officer (0.3) and a part-time administration support officer (0.1). The day to day work of the Council was also supported by a Management Committee comprising volunteer representatives.

MISSION

The CCSP exists to provide leadership, advocacy and support to all parents with children in Catholic Schools in NSW.

MEMBERSHIPThe Diocesan Parent Associations and the Group of Congregational Schools are the members of the Council. A diocesan parent association is the membership body for all systemic Catholic schools within a particular diocese. Catholic systemic schools therefore affiliate to the Council through their diocesan association. Where an association does not exist, the Catholic schools in the diocese are represented by a parent nominated by the Catholic Education Office or Bishop. Congregational schools affiliate directly to the Council.

In 2004, the Council recognised that the interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents and carers needed to be specially recognised by the Council and established the NSW Catholic Schools Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Parent Committee. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents are represented on the CCSP, with full voting rights, through the Chair of that Committee.

The diocesan, congregational and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representatives form the State Council of the CCSP which is the representative and decision-making body of the organisation.

“…Parents have a particularly important part to play in the educating community, since it is to them that primary and natural responsibility for their children’s education belongs…”

(The Catholic School on the Threshold of the Third Millennium. Congregation of Catholic Education. 1997)

Dear parents and colleagues,

2011 marked my third year as Chairperson for the CCSP and it was another very busy year!

The education policy landscape continued to undergo a significant transformation over the last year as the focus on education at the Federal level continued to grow.

2011 saw the release of the final report of the national school funding review led by David Gonski - the first of its kind since the Karmel Report in 1973. The CCSP made 4 submissions to the Review and had the opportunity to meet with panel members on three occasions.

The impact of this review is potentially very significant in terms of delivering greater resources to schools to meet quality schooling objectives. However, serious concerns remain around the future accessibility and affordability of Catholic schools if the model, or the government’s interpretation of the model, doesn’t address the specific needs of Catholic school communities. The CCSP will need to continue to work with its partners to ensure that we achieve a fair and equitable outcome from the Gonski process - for all schools.

It was also a significant year for education in terms of the range of legislation being enacted, the further development of national curricula, the ‘Building the Education Revolution’ and spending on digital technology. As a parent association we took particular interest in the development of the MySchool website and the broader transparency and accountability agenda.

The ongoing shift in the policy debate to the national level further focused the CCSP’s attention on the need for a national Catholic parent association. This is an area that the State Council will need to give increased attention to over the coming months, as we work to ensure that the parents of the children in our schools have a strong voice in national policy making.

In March 2011 we saw the State election delivering a new Liberal/National Party Government and a new Education Minister - The Hon Adrian Piccoli.

On 4 August 2011, Mr Piccoli announced that the present School Certificate will be abolished from 2012. The CCSP will continue to engage with the consultation process around the development of the new Record of Student Achievement (RoSA).

CCSP also made representations to a number of inquiries and reviews. These included: • Review of the School Certificate;• Review of the Disability Standards for Education;• the Parliamentary School Zone Road Safety Inquiry; • NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into Students with Additional

and Complex Needs; and • NSW Literacy and Numeracy Review.

The following pages of this report highlight the fuller range of achievements and work of the CCSP throughout 2011. Finally, I would like to thank the CCSP’s State Council for its support and hard work during the last 12 months. Council members are all volunteers who make significant sacrifices to attend meetings and be involved in the work of the CCSP. Thank you.

Sincere thanks also go to Danielle Cronin and Sue Bull - the CCSP Secretariat. Their professionalism, expertise and friendship makes the Council a wonderful organisation to be part of. The leadership provided by both women is immeasurable and as Chair I have found them to be incredibly supportive and affirming.

This was certainly an interesting year for school education in Australia. The rate of education policy-making continued at a fast pace and covered such areas as:

• a new Australian Curriculum;• a suite of National Partnerships in areas including Literacy

and Numeracy, Low SES, Teacher Quality, Early Childhood and Youth Attainment and Transition;

• transparency and accountability (namely updating the MySchool Website to report on school financial data, enhanced NAPLAN information and Vocational Education and Training information);

• National Professional Standards for Teachers;• National Professional Standard for Principals; • National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education

and Care;• National School Chaplaincy and Student Welfare;• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education (with the

Action Plan 2010–2014); and • the revision of the National Safe Schools Framework.

We also continued to see the positive impact on school communities of the Digital Education Revolution, Building the Education Revolution and the Trade Training centre programmes.

Representing parents of children in Catholic schools continued to be a major focus for the CCSP throughout 2011. The Council had nominees on approximately 30 committees, boards and working parties. A list of these committees can be found later in this report. These representative roles require considerable effort in the careful reading of papers, attending meetings (many of which are full day meetings) and reporting back to State Council. Whilst the secretariat staff do some of this representative work, we have a number of volunteer parents who undertake these roles and I wish to express my deepest appreciation and admiration for their time and effort on behalf of parents in Catholic schools.

In 2011, we continued to look at our work through the lens of family engagement with learning; exploring how Catholic schools can build stronger learning communities, while

working to improve both the understanding and expertise of parents and teachers to undertake this journey.

As part of this work, the CCSP held its second annual Master Class in parent and community engagement for parent and school leaders and diocesan staff. Dr George Otero, from the Centre for Relational Learning in New Mexico, explored the concept of social capital and building relationships centred on learning while I focussed on the research around parent and community engagement to support enhanced learning outcomes. We also heard from practitioners in the field who gave us insights into building successful partnerships across diverse settings.

We continued to build on our Centre of Excellence, Partners4Learning, and the resource bank it provides to schools. The CCSP was also officially endorsed by the NSW Institute of Teachers as a provider of professional learning which is accessible through the Partners4learning site.

CCSP delivered numerous presentations and workshops around NSW and interstate to school, state and regional office staff on parent and community engagement. The CCSP also worked with the CEOs in Sydney, Broken Bay and Melbourne and was contracted to run seven forums across Victoria for government and Catholic schools by the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development. CCSP also provided keynote presentations at several conferences and events such as the Victorian LLENS Board Chairs’ Dinner, the Northern LLEN Network conference ‘From My School to Our School’ and the NSW Department of Education’s Early Childhood Transition to School conference.

The CCSP’s joint Strengthening Parent and Community Engagement initiative with the NSW Federation of P&Cs and the NSW Parents Council continued throughout 2011 with focus groups and a literature review being undertaken. It is hoped that ACU will complete the teacher professional development and pre-service modules in early 2013.

I wish to thank the Diocesan Directors and the CCSP who supported my ‘Sabbatical’ during July and August this year. This time away from the Secretariat allowed me to travel to Harvard University for a Summer residential course on the

Future of Learning and to meet colleagues in Ontario, Canada to learn about the education policy direction being pursued there. The learnings from these experiences have usefully informed much of my policy advocacy and work with schools and dioceses this year.

Through the CCSP’s two nominees on the NSW Catholic Education Commission’s Public Policy Committee, and membership of the National Catholic Education Commission’s Election and Communication’s Strategy Group, the CCSP collaborated on a range of materials to support Catholic school communities to better understand school funding and the implications of various education policies on Catholic schools.

For the NSW State election, CCSP advised political parties about Catholic education issues, elicited responses and collaborated on how election information might be disseminated to school communities.

In preparation for the NSW election two funding flyers and newsletter inserts were developed to illustrate the salient funding characteristics of Catholic schools. The CCSP also jointly issued, with CEC, a Policy Scorecard highlighting the various political parties’ policy stances vis a vis Catholic schools and their commitments to future funding.

Collectively Catholic education pursued five policy initiatives in the lead up to the election: a commitment to guarantee the continuation of the existing State-funded support items for Catholic schools; increased per capita funding for students

with a disability; an increased allocation for the Building Grants Assistance Scheme and the application of an industry standard annual indexation methodology; an increased allocation and funding guarantees for VET/TVET; recurrent funding support for a Catholic sector behavioural unit.

In addition to advocacy around the election, the CCSP also participated in regular CCSP and CEC delegations to the NSW Education Minister and Shadow Education Minister.

In relation to the Gonski Review of School Funding, the National Catholic Education Commission (NCEC) was responsible for coordinating the Catholic sector response. It was resolved that a single Catholic-sector funding model would be presented. CCSP, through its Executive Director as an NCEC Commissioner, was actively involved in various consultative processes and the development of the submission to the review panel. The CCSP Executive Director , as Chair of the NCEC Parent Committee, also led a Catholic school

parent delegation to meet the Review Panel.

Discussion and negotiation on the recommendations of the Gonski review will continue throughout 2012.

Parental engagement involves “a desire, an expression, and an attempt by parents to have an impact on what actually transpires around their children in schools and the kinds of human, social and material resources that are valued within schools”.

(Calabrese & Barton in McDermott: 2008, p11)

The CCSP is committed to promoting family, school and community partnerships as a way of ensuring strong learning and well-being outcomes for children, families and staff in all our school communities.

In 2011 the CCSP held two Master Classes for parents and educators: Family and Community Engagement with Learning with Dr George Otero (USA) and De-coding Gen X and Gen Y with Michael McQueen. Both were very well attended, reaching around 130 participants at each event.

In 2010, the CCSP Executive Director, Danielle Cronin, was appointed to a national Ministerial task force on parental engagement in Low SES communities. In 2011 the task force released its report and literature review on parental engagement and launched a new Strengthening Parent and Community Engagement Toolkit which included a new school self-review matrix. The CCSP was contracted by the Victorian Department of Education to run a series of state-wide forums for schools to help develop their understanding of parent and community partnerships and unpack the new toolkit. These forums will continue in 2012.

The CCSP’s Partners4Learning Centre of Excellence (www.partners4learning.edu.au) has continued to develop and is accessed by around 1000 visitors a month. The resources are designed with classroom teachers and other school-based staff in mind. Partners4Learning aims to provide educators and parent leaders with easy access to the latest research, case studies and practical tools to assist them build and sustain strong family, school and community (including Parish) partnerships.

The CCSP also collaborated on two chapters in Dr Nance Millar’s new book Bridging the Gaps. The CCSP’s Danielle Cronin co-authored a chapter on the role of family liaison coordinators in sustaining partnerships, particularly for disadvantaged and at-risk families, and Sue Bull collaborated on a chapter on peer to peer parent education strategies.

The CCSP’s range of regular communications to schools throughout 2011 included:

NEWSLETTERS - ParentNet (quarterly, hardcopy and electronic)ParentNet provides school staff and parent leaders with updates on recent research to support parent partnerships, school case studies and showcases resources from the Partners4Learning site. Headline articles included:Parents and Communities Matter, What Did You Learn Today?, Bridging the Gaps, Review of the Parent Engagement Literature, Your Community, an Approach to Connecting Home and School Learning in Secondary School, Building Community and Identity. - Connecting U: Parent 2 Parent (quarterly, electronic)Conecting U provides parents with links to topical information such as raising teenagers, building resilience and how to help your child at school. - CCSPNet (as needed, hardcopy and electronic)CCSPNet provides updates on key education policy issues such as changes to the School Certificate and

school funding with background notes. It is also used as a tool to elicit feedback from parents on key issues to assist CCSP advocacy.

WEBSITES AND SOCIAL MEDIAThe CCSP also maintained an organisational website (www.ccsp.catholic.edu.au) and used this to contact schools via email newsletters (ParentNet and CCSPNet) and to gather feedback by way of surveys on the site. It is also the ‘go-to’ site for parents and others for news items and other information.Twitter and Facebook were also used to maintain contact with subscribers to the various CCSP newsletters and websites and keep them up to date with relevant articles, events, research and tools. Through the educational Twitter network, CCSP has developed collegial relationships with practitioners both here and overseas.

RESEARCHThe CCSP continued its research partnership with ACU and the Strengthening Parent and Community Engagement Project (pre-service and in-service professional development modules). Focus groups with parents and teachers were undertaken and a literature review was completed. The data collected from the focus groups will inform the development of PD resources and undergraduate course materials.

School Certificate[New Record of Achievement Proposal]

Background:In 2010 the Board consulted with over 20 peak s t a keho lde r o rgan i sa t i on s , representing school systems, principals, teachers, parents and other interested parties on the relevance of the School Certificate.

During the course of these meetings it became clear that there was a high degree of agreement that the School Certificate should be replaced by a new credential based on a set of key directions.

Early in 2011 the Board issued a Discussion Paper that included a detailed analysis of the issues raised and views expressed by stakeholders and which set out those key directions. The Discussion Paper concluded with a series of broad directions for change. This document is available at: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/schoolcertificate/sc_review.html

FEEDBACK DUE: 10 December 2011office@ccsp.catholic.edu.au

PO BOX A960, Sydney South NSW 1235

The new Record of Student Achievement (ROSA) will replace the School Certificate previously given to students at the end of Year 10, after they had completed a series of external tests.

Those School Certificate tests will not be held after 2011.

The NSW Board of Studies is now consulting with the community and peak bodies, like the CCSP, over how the ROSA will be implemented.

In summary the new credential will:

• be a record of achievement for students who leave school prior to receiving their HSC

• be available when a student leaves school any time after they complete Year 10

• report results of moderated, school-based assessment, not external tests

• be cumulative and recognise a student’s achievements until the point they leave school

• show a result for all courses completed in Year 10 and Year 11• be able to be reliably compared between students across NSW• give students the option to take online literacy and numeracy

tests• be comprehensive and offer the ability to record a student’s extra-

curricular achievements.

To put these changes into effect, the Board has developed a number of proposals that are the subject of this consultation process.

The proposals relate to:

1. Reporting2. Timing3. Method of issue4. Support for school-based assessment and teacher

judgement of student achievement5. Moderation and monitoring of grades6. Reporting on literacy and numeracy7. How additional achievements could be recorded

“The support of parents for learning and achievement is the single most important contributory factor to increased student achievement. In terms of raising school performance, parents matter significantly.”

(Harris et al. 2009)
