What is the Diocesan Parent Council ?
The Diocesan Parent Council (DPC) is the official parent body recognised by the Bishop and the CSO to represent the parents of all children attending Catholic schools in the three regions of the Diocese.
The Diocesan Parent Council is represented on the NSW Council of Catholic School Parents (CCSP) which in turn is represented on the Catholic Education Commission (CEC) NSW, and through this it has significant access to and involvement in mainstream education issues as well as input into policy and financial decisions.
Membership of the Executive Committee of the Broken Bay Parent Council comes from representatives of the Parents and Friends Associations of the Catholic Schools in the Broken Bay Diocese.
The main aim of the Diocesan Parent Council is to
- strengthen the participation of all parents in our Catholic schools by providing input into the diocesan level committees
- actively encourage the flow of information from parents and to provide a voice for parent issues
- promote the parent/parish/schools partnership via projects that embrace parents, children, the school church and the community
- promote the Catholic school parents' views to the Bishop, the schools board, the CSO and school administrators
- promote Catholic education in Catholic schools, by taking an active role in partnership with others to secure appropriate funding for Catholic Schools Council Funding.
