Catholic School Parents Australia launched a fresh and functional new website on Saturday, at the August meeting of CSPA Council.

Amidst a virtual celebration, CSPA Chair Karl Rodrigues deleted the red ribbon as the new website went live. “I would like to thank those who have contributed to the generation of our new website, it is appealing, colourful, informative and easy to navigate”, Mr Rodrigues said.

CSPA’s key partners were also impressed with the new website and shared the following. The National Catholic Education Executive Director Jacinta Collins noted, “CSPA’s new website provides a valuable platform for families and equips them with information on Catholic education, school funding, parent engagement materials and educational resources so they can play an active role in their children’s learning.”

“We know that when parents are actively involved in their children’s education, children are more engaged in their learning, achieve better outcomes and stay in school longer,” Ms Collins said.

Greg Cantor, Australian Catholic Superannuation CEO stated, “I congratulate CSPA on this fresh and functional website and encourage all current and prospective parents of children in Catholic education to utilise the many resources available to you in staying up-to-date and informed.” “Digital engagement has never been as important as it has been in recent times during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Mr Cantor concluded.

Hugh Easton, State Manager Qld of Catholic Church Insurance commented, “CCI would like to congratulate Catholic School Parents Australia on the launch of their new website. CCI is proud to support the work of CSPA as the national body representing and advocating for the parents of Catholic school students across Australia. We are sure that the new website will provide the Catholic education community with key information and resources for many years to come.”

Mr Rodrigues concluded, “At times such as these, it gives CSPA the opportunity to thank our wonderful partners, the National Catholic Education Commission, the Australian Catholic Superannuation and Retirement Fund and Catholic Church Insurance. It is through their generous support and the support of our member parent bodies that the vital advocacy and representational work of CSPA is made possible.”
