School Governance

‘The primary right of parents to educate their children must be upheld in all forms of collaboration between parents, teachers and school authorities, and particularly in forms of participation designed to give citizens a voice in the functioning of schools and in the formulation and implementation of educational policies.’

Pontifical Council on the Family
CHARTER OF THE RIGHTS OF THE FAMILY

The Governance structure of a school, in accordance with the authority entrusted to it by the Archbishop, is to assist the school to fulfil its mission in accordance with the Code of Canon Law, Archdiocesan directives and guidelines and policies of the Catholic Education Commission and the Catholic Education Office.

School community councils provide the opportunity for members of the school, parish and archdiocesan communities to support the mission of CECG in the school. Working with the principal, parish priest and staff, council members support the wider school community.
For individual council enquiries contact your local school. For information about the overall governance of CECG schools, contact governance@cg.catholic.edu.au
