Governance Training

Each person defined under The Education Act 1990 (NSW) as a ‘Responsible Person’ – and any other person or body exercising similar functions in relation to a school – is required to undertake initial and ongoing professional learning as a key aspect of proper governance, as follows:

at least 12 hours over each three year period in regard to governance issues from within three months of their appointment as a ‘Responsible Person’, delivered by a NESA approved training provider (such as Catholic Schools New South Wales), and
an induction process for new Responsible Persons for a school including, at a minimum, the mandatory successful completion of a NESA approved training program delivered by a NESA approved training provider.

Catholic Schools New South Wales provides NESA approved online governance training for all Responsible Persons in Catholic schools and school authorities through a series of one-hour online modules.

Responsible Persons can access these governance training modules through the
