Catholic Education Board

Contact: Tracey Flint

Appointed by the Bishop, the Catholic Education Board operates within the general pastoral and educational goals of the Diocese. The aim of the Board is to help the Catholic education identity take shape within the Diocese. It does this by developing and monitoring educational policies which are consistent with the Diocesan education Vision and Mission Statements and Strategic Initiatives Plan.

The Board's process in policy development is visionary, developmental, coordinative and evaluative. The Board facilitates the policy process by means of shared wisdom.

The Board also cooperates with and supports the Queensland Catholic Education Commission, National Catholic Education Commission and the Australian Bishops in furthering the ideals of Catholic Education in Australia.

Board Committees:

Faith Education and Curriculum
The responsibility of the Faith Education and Curriculum Committee is to prepare policies for the Catholic Education Board which will enable all educators to implement sound faith and curriculum programs.

Finance
The responsibility of the Finance Committee is to review the preparation of the Catholic Education budget, to ensure it meets policy requirements as determined by the Catholic Education Board and to advise the Board on financial implications of proposed policies.

Planning and Development
The responsibility of the Planning and Development Committee is to undertake or commission the research necessary to give information on appropriate planning and development for Catholic education across the diocesan community as directed by the Catholic Education Board.

Promotions and Publications
The responsibility of the Promotions and Publications Committee is to provide reflection and advice in regard to promoting Catholic education (womb to tomb) across a diversity of media outlets: print (publications, newspapers, media releases); television; radio; Internet; e-mail and so forth.

Staff and School Development
The responsibility of the Staff and School Development Committee is to prepare policies for the Catholic Education Board which will enable Catholic preschools, primary schools and secondary schools to put into action the mission and vision of the Board.

Editorial
The responsibility of the Editorial Committee is to reduce process time on policy documents during Board meetings.
