The Association of Catholic School Principals of New South Wales is excited to host the Catholic Secondary Principals Australia 2026 National Conference to be held from 7 – 10 July at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Sydney. We invite you to collaborate with us in our effort to enhance the purpose, quality and effectiveness in leading our Catholic secondary schools by supporting our National Conference.
Our aim is to attract over 350 Catholic Secondary school principals to the event in addition to primary principals, executive team members and those working in school improvement. The conference theme is:
Inspiring Leadership; Celebrating Faith, Learning and Wellbeing into the future.
The conference will include 6 keynotes and a dozen breakout sessions. Our vision for the program development is to:
- Dream boldly, envisioning a future where Catholic education continues to instil values, promote critical thinking, and inspire a sense of purpose in the hearts and minds of our students.
- Allow Principals to share their experiences and expertise whilst learning from the vast array of knowledge and alternate perspectives from other delegates.
- Enable thought-provoking discussions to help shape the future of Catholic education ensuring it remains a beacon of hope and wisdom for generations to come.
Whilst we are already leading the journey to shape the future of Catholic education, grounded in our faith, the conference will take us on a deeper journey of innovation, imagination, and collaboration. It will bring together education leaders to showcase their stories on a range of topics connected to Catholic education and school improvement.We look forward to your presence at this conference.
