Council of Catholic School Parents NSW/ACT

Did you know that as a parent or carer in a Catholic school, you have a dedicated peak body representing your voice at the state level?

The Council of Catholic School Parents (CCSP) NSW/ACT is the officially recognised body that provides leadership, advocacy, and support for all parents and carers of children in Catholic schools across NSW and the ACT.

The CCSP works to ensure that the "parent voice" is heard by education leaders and government decision-makers. They view parents as partners in the educational journey and offer a wide range of free services, including:

Advocacy: They represent your interests regarding school funding, curriculum changes, and student wellbeing policies at both a State and Federal level.
Resources for Families: Their website is a hub of valuable information, featuring guides on everything from Cyber Safety and Diverse Learning Needs to Faith Formation and Mental Health.
"Parent Talk" Newsletter: A popular e-newsletter that keeps families up to date with the latest education news, parenting tips, and upcoming free webinars.
Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Support: A dedicated committee ensures the specific needs and perspectives of First Nations families are represented.

We encourage all families to visit the CCSP website to explore their resources. You can also subscribe to their Parent Talk newsletter to receive helpful parenting insights directly to your inbox.
