Stewardship

Accessible, Affordable and Sustainable System of Schools

Keeping pace with the diverse learning needs of WA’s population is vital in ensuring that Catholic schools remain sustainable and responsive in a changing educational landscape.  This includes a clear focus on providing accessible and affordable education for all WA families who choose Catholic education.

The Stewardship category acknowledges outstanding initiatives and projects that have or continue to provide an accessible, affordable educational choice for those families that seek a Catholic education, as well as initiatives and projects that demonstrate initiative and commitment to supporting the needs of students, staff and community.

This award will recognise an outstanding Stewardship project or initiative developed by a Catholic school in Western Australia (one Primary and one Secondary).
