001.8.2 Present Position of Council

Martin Laverack gave an overview of the present position of Council. A conference/AGM was planned to be held on 12 October 2012, however due to failing to achieve quorum the meeting was cancelled with the approval of the Archbishop. Discussions were then held with the Archbishop and today’s meeting was established. At the same time appoint each Council Member to the Council. His approval was sought to formulate the winding up of the Federation and the transfer of assets and liabilities to the Parents Council. A formal letter has been submitted to the Archbishop seeking approval for this action, of which verbal approval has been given, but need to await formal notification.

This is the first official meeting of the Tasmanian Catholic Schools Parents Council.

Stephen Burke asked why the Archbishop thought that this body would be succeed whilst the previous organisation didn’t.

Martin Laverack responded that the previous organisation was more a volunteer organisation and because it had parents and friends as part of its name, a large number of people thought that it was a fundraising organisation. When it comes to the Parents Council it has more of a leadership role and policy involvement. Which is basically the work that the Federation had been doing for the last 50 years, but the image of the Federation was the wrong image. Regional meetings were held and the State Council meet in Launceston to review the discussions at the regional meetings and to look as possible options for the future and developed a Future Directions document which was presented to the AGM in May 2012 which formally established the Tasmanian Catholic Schools Parents Council and requested that the State Council develop the draft constitution which was included as part of your appointment letter. As part of the discussion was moving the funding from a volunteer funding arrangement to moving it across to the Catholic Education Office to establish a more permanent funding model. So this will allow the Catholic Education Office to collect the monies and forward them onto the Council.

Stephen Burke asked if it was just a rebranding and had its purpose changed.

Michael Hangan stated at this point in time the Councils purpose hasn’t changed but it is open for discussion which this body can be reviewed by the Council in the future. The purpose was not included into the constitution as it had been with the Federation to allow the Councils purpose for be amended to meet the change needs of Catholic Education in Tasmania.

Greg Boon reported that the representation on the Council is different to that of the Federation. Were in the past the local school P&F sent a representative along to regional meetings, who in turn elected 2 delegates to attend State Council meetings. Under the Council structure each School Community has a direct involvement in the Council with a School Community Nominee, nominated by School Boards and School P&F together and appointed by the Archbishop. This structure and process is similar to how other organisation within the Archdiocese of Hobart operates.

Greg Boon suggested that each school should have a school community representative who liaises between all bodies within the school.

Stephen Burke suggested that maybe the School/College Nominee should be called the Catholic School/College Community Nominee/Member/Representative.

Shane Poulson enquired regarding the funding that was to the Federation will that automatically be directed to the Parents Council.

Michael Hangan advised that yes this would continue with either the Federation or Council.

Shane Poulson enquired if all schools/college were financial members.

Michael Hangan reported of the 37 schools/colleges 31 were financial with $39,000 and 6 unfinancial with $12,500.

Greg Boon reported that we now have the Archbishops support and he believes that the Parents Council is very important to Catholic Education and Schools in Tasmanian and if it falls over this is a problem. In addition the Director of Catholic Education is very refreshing in that she believes there is an important role for the Parents Council and can’t afford to have this organisation fall over.


Page 5 of 21

With the Archbishop and Director saying to schools/colleges you must support the Parents Council financially.

The funding model planned is that levies and fees pay for day to day operations whilst any grants or donations pay for special projects.

Shane Poulson asked for an explanation of how the Council is funded.

Michael Hangan reported that under the present arrangement that the Executive Officer bills each school P&F Association or in some cases the School/College $3.50 per full time equivalent student (P-12) with student numbers provided by schools in there March census. Out of the fees paid in 2012 – 11 were paid by the school/college and 20 paid by the P&F. We also receive an Education Grant in aid from the State Government of about $17,000 received in November annually. From 2000 - 2009 the Grant was $15,000 annually, the Federation sought an increase as well as the grant was indexed by CPI annually through the Minister for Education – with the CPI indexing approved. In 2010 we sought to further increase the grant to reflect the increased activity and draw us to closer parity with the State School organisation who receives approx $90K, but this was not approved. The current grant runs through to the end of 2013 when further submission will need to be submitted for consideration by the Minister prior to the State Budget to commence in 2014.

(ACTION: Executive Officer to prepare draft submission for consideration at next Council Meeting.)

Martin Laverack reported that the Federation developed guidelines for local P&F Associations on how they can operate. This document was redesigned and is now in draft format. To ensure that the document has some authority and backing will need to be submitted to each of the College Governing Council and the Systemic Governing Council for approval. To ensure that this document becomes our promotional document will need to be reviewed and resubmitted to the Governing Councils for approval.

(ACTION: Executive Officer to issue to Council Members in draft format for comments.)

Shane Poulson raised the status of this meeting are we still operating as the Tasmanian Catholic Schools Parents and Friends Federation or the Tasmanian Catholic Schools Parents Council, when does the changeover actually happen.

Michael Hangan advised that the Archbishop has given verbal approval to the winding up of the Federation and the commencement of the Council and with the appointment of everyone a School/College Nominees this is the first meeting of the Parents Council and at this meeting we will need to elect the Executive Committee.

Nora Wood asked as we had reported the arrangements of the Federation what will the financial arrangements for the Council for 2013.

Michael Hangan reported that a recommendation for levies should be presented to an AGM but if not having an AGM the Council will need to set the levies and it is then ratified at the AGM. A number of suggestions regarding the levies of either $1.00 per term per student or $1.25 or $1.50, however no set amount is currently proposed. The $1.00 per term would be more than currently paid of an increase of $0.50 per annum.

The levies to be collected by the Catholic Education Office with a disclosure on the invoice to say the levy is for the Parents Council.

Amanda Sullivan enquired if the levy covered Kinder students with the growing focus across Australia as the commencement of learning and if it should be at a reduced rate or full rate.

Michael Hangan advised that this was up to this body to discuss and formulate, but up until this point Kinder has been excluded from the payment of any levies.

Shane Poulson advised that if you have 3 or more students in Catholic Education at a school you are entitled to a discount except it doesn’t count Kinder students as part of the discount. So whilst this is the process we should not be charging a levy for Kinder students.

Greg Boon stated that as a simple marketing exercise from this body “it is $1.00 per student per term” for the services provided by the Parent Council. We need to develop a brochure that needs to go out to schools outlining what the levy funds.

Motion: Moved Greg Boon Seconded Amanda Sullivan “That the Parents Council charges $1.00 per student per

term levy for the 2013 calendar year to be reviewed at the AGM (with a qualification that the school provides an approved waiver (i.e. family financial hardship or school provided financial assistance) of the levy).” CARRIED

(ACTION: Executive Officer to write to the Director of Catholic Education advising of Parents Council levy for 2013.)

That a brochure or powerpoint should be developed to show the benefits of affiliating with the Parents Council.

National Catholic Education Commission – Parents Committee is a committee of the National Catholic Education Commission (NCEC), of which Carolyn Gutteridge and Michael Hangan are the nominees, however they are appointed as representatives of the Tasmanian Catholic Education Commission not as representatives of the Parents Council. A review of the NCEC has recently been undertaken and recommendations have been presented to the Bishops Commission on Catholic Education with a report going to the Bishops Conference in next week. The outcome at this point in time is unknown, however the current two nominee’s terms conclude on 31st December 2012. I believe that we will not see this committee continue, which is why the National Catholic Parent Voice is trying to be established by the Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria who have submitted a submission to the Bishops conference for its formation. Presently South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia are not part of the submission as they are members of Australian Parents Council (APC) and believe that APC meets the needs of the Parents voice of Catholic and Independent Students.
