The proposed new Enterprise Agreement was sent to all Catholic school staff and the Independent Education Union (IEU) today, Monday 7 April to begin a process of consultation to consolidate a number of existing agreements into a single state-wide agreement which supports high quality contemporary teaching and learning.
The proposed agreement is Catholic Education's response to the changing education landscape in Australia today and responds to the priorities and concerns of staff drawn from the Catholic school employees survey.
Executive Director of Schools, Greg Whitby, said the proposed agreement is aligned with the strategic intent of our schools in the Diocese of Parramatta.
'The proposed agreement will allow greater scope to build the professional capacity of our teachers and staff, and contribute to a more professional and rewarding work life,' said Greg.
'As with any new agreement, there may ultimately be changes in some areas relating to the work of teachers and support staff,' he said. 'However, changes will only occur as an outcome from a consultation process and after a formal agreement between the negotiating parties is finalised.'

Our Stage 6 Music students had the wonderful opportunity to experience Disneyโs The Lion King live at the Capitol Theatre. ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ถ It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to see professional musicians and performers at work and to experience first hand how music, movement, staging and storytelling come together in a world class theatrical production. Experiences like this bring classroom learning to life and give our young musicians a chance to see where their own creativity, musicianship and performance skills can take them. A brilliant day of music, theatre and inspiration for our Stage 6 musicians! And, of course, thereโs only one way to finishโฆ Hakuna Matata! ๐ฆ๐

๐ญ Our Stage 5 Drama students recently enjoyed an inspiring excursion to GRIMM: Tales from the Brothers Grimm at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre in Penrith. Presented by Shake & Stir Theatre Co., this bold and imaginative production brought classic fairy tales to life through innovative staging, dynamic physical theatre and stunning visual design. The experience gave students valuable insight into contemporary Australian theatre, creative storytelling and the many ways performance can captivate an audience. A fantastic opportunity to see the magic of live theatre in action! โจ๐ญ

What's It Really Like to Send Your Kid to a Catholic School?
If you've ever assumed that attending a Catholic school means you have to be Catholic and that the fees are expensive, you're not alone. It's a common perception, but for many families, the reality looks quite different.
