Catholic School Parents Victoria represents the important perspective of parents across all Catholic schools in Victoria. As a parent who has children enrolled in a Catholic school you are automatically a member of the parent council. There is no fee to be a member and parents of children attending Catholic schools across Victoria are welcome to apply to join the council as a volunteer through an expression of interest and nomination process. This can be found on the CSPV website at www.cspv.catholic.edu.au/join-us.

CSPV is officially recognised as the peak Catholic school parent body for nearly 500 Catholic primary, secondary and special needs schools, representing parent perspective in Catholic education at a diocesan, state and national level through  affilication with CSPA (Catholic School Parents Australia).

We hope you enjoy the articles we present to further support all parents of children who attend Catholic schools to ensure you are informed of the broader picture in education, any changes and improvements in education and to provide opportunity for parent feedback.

Attention Principals:

CSPV recognise you as enablers in communicating articles we publish with your school communities. Please feel free to copy and paste any of these articles for your school newsletter.
