The CSA National Council has adopted 5 key principles which will underpin our approach to the forthcoming Review of Funding.

The principles are:

  1. The role of parents as the primary educators must be affirmed and maintained.
  2. The historical and continuing role of faith communities in education must be respected and supported.
  3. Equity, a fair go, must be at the heart of any allocative mechanism.
  4. Schools must be provided with certainty and transparency in any funding model.
  5. Accountability must be meaningful and proportionate

These principles were developed jointly by national christian schools association officers for consideration by their respective boards.

They will for the basis of discussions within the sector over the next few months.
