Policies and Procedures
Schools are complex environments, and we require policies and procedures to ensure we are all expecting the same standards. We believe our students feel safer knowing there are rules and processes for everyone to follow.
The Diocesan Education Council (DEC) assists the Bishop in formulating the Townsville Diocesan Catholic Education vision and identity. The DEC makes and monitors educational policies so that they are consistent with the Diocesan Mission Statement. The policy framework of the Diocesan Education Council provides a unifying focus for all Diocesan schools, and schools formulate additional policies to address operational aspects of school life.
