How are quality and effectiveness assured in Catholic schools?
Catholic schools work in close partnership with parents and others in school communities in ongoing processes of review and renewal which assist them to ensure that Catholic schools continue to best meet the needs of the community. Many Catholic schools have established bodies which involve members of the community, including parents, in strategic planning and in the formation of policy which enables the school t o draw on the wisdom and expertise available in the school and wider community. Both State and Commonwealth Governments require Catholic schools to meet the requirements for educational and financial accountability. Financial statements presented as part of this process must be signed off by a qualified auditor.
