Chairman, Bishop Members of Catholic Schools NSW
Level 16, Polding Centre

SYDNEY NSW 2000
Your Grace,
It is with great pleasure that I submit the 2019 Annual Report
of Catholic Schools New South Wales Ltd (CSNSW) for the
consideration of Bishop Members.
2019 was a year of significant consolidation and achievement for
CSNSW as it sought to advance its civil and canonical mandates.
This report records some of our achievements and challenges that
we continue to face in working with Bishop Members, Diocesan
Schools Offices, Religious Institutes and PJPs, and others within the
community of Catholic schools in NSW to advance the mission of
Catholic schooling in NSW.
It is a privilege to be entrusted with these important responsibilities
and to be involved in supporting improved effectiveness across
NSW Catholic Schools.
I commend the 2019 Catholic Schools NSW Annual Report to the
Bishop Members of CSNSW.
Yours sincerely,
Stephen Sedgwick AO
Chairman
ANNUAL REPORT 2019 2
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
2019 was our second full year of operation. It was
certainly a year of consolidation but also of growth.
It was characterised by further progress to secure the improvements in governance
that led Bishop Members to establish CSNSW in 2017. This is reflected, amongst other
things, in:
the bedding down of a revised methodology for the allocation of Commonwealth
and NSW government recurrent funding to Diocesan Schools Offices (DSOs) in line
with the needs-based funding principles of the relevant legislation;
improvements in the procedures to assess applications for capital funding grants
under the Commonwealth and NSW government Block Grants arrangements;
additional professional support for DSOs in the development of applications for
capital funding; and
strengthened procedures to ensure that DSOs, Bishop Members and CSNSW can
demonstrate compliance with government legislation and meet accountability
obligations.
In addition, there were significant new initiatives to build the capacity of CSNSW to
add value through more informative reporting to Members, facilitation of greater
collaboration across the Catholic schools sector in NSW, and more effective
representation of the perspectives and needs of NSW Catholic schools, both systemic
and non-systemic, to governments and the broader community. These provide a strong
platform from which CSNSW can fulfil its civil and canonical mandates in coming years
and support Bishop Members to advance the Mission of Catholic schools in NSW.
CSNSW also successfully integrated the operations of Catholic Schools Sports Services,
consistent with a decision of the Bishops of the Province, and assisted the Bishops
in their examination of appropriate future governance arrangements for the Catholic
Commission for Employment Relations (CCER), leading to a decision in principle to
incorporate CCER as a wholly owned subsidiary of CSNSW. At the end of 2019, this
remained a work in progress, with completion expected in 2020.
Elements of our work remain contentious in some quarters. Change is rarely smooth or
easy. At times, it can feel that we ‘take two steps forward and one step back’. Overall,
however, progress is being made to strengthen the capability, procedures and systems
of CSNSW, demonstrate the value that we can add and realise the ambitions that
Members embedded in our civil and canonical mandates.
The Board wholeheartedly acknowledges the professionalism, commitment and
effectiveness of the CEO, Dallas McInerney, and management and staff of CSNSW. We
sincerely thank the Members for their continuing philosophical and prayerful support.
Yours sincerely,
Stephen Sedgwick AO
Chairman

ADVOCACY AND
ADVANCEMENT
Advocacy on behalf of Catholic education is central to
CSNSW’s purpose to advance God’s Mission through
leadership and service. Critical to the success of CSNSW’s
advocacy is effective engagement with a wide range of
stakeholders including policymakers, regulators and school
providers and enhancement of its own staff and systems to
support Catholic agencies.
Collaboration
A strategic priority of CSNSW in 2019 was to nurture quality
relationships across the NSW Catholic school sector for the
purposes of high-level collaboration and service delivery.
The Board held a full-day workshop with key stakeholders
at the Polding Centre on 7 August. The workshop:
Engaged stakeholders with strategic issues facing
Catholic schools in NSW;
Discussed the regulatory and policy environment in
2019/2020;
Provided an opportunity to hear first-hand from
principals and teachers about their needs and
challenges; and
Enabled an extensive briefing from leaders of rural and
regional Catholic education.
The CSNSW Board and Management and the Conference of
Diocesan Directors convene annually in one of the dioceses
to familiarise themselves with the issues of that diocese, to
visit some schools and the education office, share a liturgy
and meal, and hold a joint meeting. In 2019 this took place in
the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn on 10-11 April. This
event provided an opportunity to discuss the current policy
outlook for the education sector and enhance understandings
of the compliance requirements for Catholic schools.
The Chief Executive Officer visited eight of the 11 dioceses
throughout NSW in 2019. He engaged with the staff of their
Catholic Schools Offices and made numerous systemic
school visits.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019 14RESOURCES AND
REPORTING
CSNSW is the approved authority for the distribution of
recurrent Commonwealth and State Government funding to
the NSW Catholic school system. It also distributes capital
and targeted funding to schools in the system schools as
well as to congregational schools. CSNSW has reporting
obligations to State and Commonwealth Governments on
behalf of the system.
Recurrent Funding 2019
In 2019, CSNSW received recurrent grants totalling $2.7
billion for the NSW Catholic school system.
The spending of recurrent grant funds is required to be in
accordance with the ‘needs-based funding arrangement’
defined in the Australian Education Act. CSNSW allocated
the funds it received on a needs basis and the methodology
for doing so is published on its website.
The expenditure of 2019 funds for educational purposes
was assured through the acquittal process which involved
the sign-off by independent auditors to Commonwealth and
State Governments.
Financial Compliance and Reporting
CSNSW, in its capacity as approved authority for funding
the NSW Catholic school system, receives each year
approximately $2.7 billion in recurrent grant funding as well
as smaller amounts of funds in targeted grants. All grants
received by CSNSW have associated financial compliance
obligations.
Since its establishment in 2017, CSNSW has undertaken a
program of continuous improvement to ensure the System
best responds to its reporting and certification obligations.
Policies and procedures have been implemented to support
a compliance framework that is becoming increasingly
sophisticated.
Key aspects if this program in 2019 included:
1. Engaged an independent audit firm to review processes
and procedures across the system in areas of not-for-
profit compliance and, in particular, with section 83C of
the NSW Education Act. This work has resulted in the
development of:
Detailed Related Party Transaction and Conflict of
Interest template registers; and
Independent reasonable market value benchmark
frameworks.
15 CATHOLIC SCHOOLS NSW2. Engaged its system auditors to undertake an independent audit of
compliance.
3. Supported testing and reporting by diocesan auditors of key
compliance and reporting matters.
4. Developed an assurance process under which Diocesan Catholic
School Agencies, within the overall system, provide certifications
that reflect their respective accountability and responsibility.
5. Detailed financial reporting at school level for all schools in the
system in accordance with Australian Government specifications,
with figures drawn from and reconciled with audited financial
statements.
6. Developed a framework to provide a consistent approach
throughout the NSW Catholic School System in the application of
new or amended accounting standards.
Recurrent Funding 2020 and beyond
In 2018, the National School Resourcing Board (the NSRB) undertook
an independent review of the methodology used to calculate the
capacity of a non-government school community to contribute to the
cost of schooling to ensure it is the fairest, most effective, accurate
and transparent model available.
The NSRB’s final report made six recommendations, including that
the capacity to contribute for a school be determined based on a
direct measure of income (‘DMI’) of parents and/or guardians of
the students at the school. This measure is a much more accurate
representation of a household’s capacity to contribute to school fees,
compared to the previous area-based SES methodology.
The new methodology is forecast to be largely beneficial to systemic
Catholic schools. The combination of the new DMI scores, as well as
individual school transition pathways (another feature of the new
methodology), is estimated to benefit the System by $1.76bn over
the next 10 years, with $1.42bn coming from the Commonwealth and
$0.34bn from the State.
The Australian Government also introduced a Choice and Affordability
package for non-government schools which should result in
approximately $210m distributed to Catholic Schools in NSW over
a period of 10 years (from 2020 to 2029). The primary purpose
of the fund is to provide the resources for initiatives that facilitate
parental choice and opportunity, giving parents the ability to choose
an affordable school that will best suit their individual child. Other
priorities for the fund listed by the Australian Government include:
transition assistance; special circumstances funding; strengthening
outcomes for schools and educationally disadvantaged schools and
students; and student wellbeing and support.
Advisory Structure
CSNSW has an Advisory Structure including Management Reference
Groups, Working Parties and Networks. These form an important part
of CSNSW’s commitment to stakeholder engagement, particularly in
considering the views of our Catholic partners.

ANNUAL REPORT 2019 16Full Cost of Educating a Child in a
Catholic School
To deepen our understanding of the financial
and other fundamentals of Catholic school
operations, CSNSW implemented a research
project aimed at examining the full costs of
school education in NSW Catholic schools.
The report presented its findings to the
Bishops in November 2018. Large economies
of scale exist in the education sector across
operating costs, capital costs and financing
costs. However, the NSW Catholic schools

NSW SPORT
In 2018, the Bishop Members appointed the CEO
and Company Secretary of CSNSW as board
members of Catholic School Sports Services
(CSSS) with a brief to bring CSSS into the CSNSW
structure. In late 2019, the Catholic School Sports
Services team was formally incorporated into
Catholic Schools NSW.
Catholic Schools Sports Services (CSSS) was
formed in 2012 to expand the service of pathway
sport and to provide support to diocesan Catholic
School Agencies. Since 1995, two separate
entities operate to provide opportunities for
students in Catholic schools to have a pathway to
representative sport.
NSW Combined Catholic Colleges Sports
Association (CCC) for students in Catholic
secondary schools runs through a combination of
sporting Associations (e.g. Metropolitan Catholic
Colleges Sports Association, Metropolitan Catholic
Schools Sports Association, Catholic Girls Schools
Secondary Sports Association etc.) and the
dioceses.
ANNUAL REPORT 2019 28NSW Catholic Primary Sports Council (CPS) for
students in Catholic primary schools operates
through the dioceses via two groupings:
Polding, including the dioceses of Armidale,
Bathurst, Broken Bay, Lismore, Maitland-
Newcastle and Wilcannia-Forbes;
MacKillop, including the dioceses of Canberra
and Goulburn, Parramatta, Sydney, Wagga
Wagga and Wollongong.
Over 22 sports are offered across primary and
secondary.
Diocesan Catholic School Agencies are
represented in the committee structures that assist
administration of Catholic school sports.
Building on this foundation and recognising the
importance of sport as a rich source of values
and virtues, Catholic Schools NSW Sport aims
to ensure schools can use sport as a means of
Christian formation and personal development for
all students. Pope Francis recently noted:
Sport plays a very important role in growth and
development. That is why the Church values sport
in itself as an arena of human activity where
one can foster virtues of temperance, humility,
courage and patience, and witness encounters
with beauty, goodness, truth and joy.
Sport is a key part of a school’s identity and the
development of young people. CSNSW Sport
endeavours to offer effective and enjoyable pathway
programs that allow all those involved to display
their sporting skills in a safe, vibrant and inclusive
environment.
In late 2019, the CSNSW Sport website was
launched to assist students, teachers, parents and
other stakeholders engaging with pathway sport.
In 2019, over 10,000 Catholic school children have
attended selection events in both CPS and CCC. In
2020, Catholic Schools NSW Sport will look to the
future as it aims to take a pro-active role in ensuring
that Catholic Schools in NSW fully realise the benefit
that sports can have on Catholic education. CSNSW
Sport will continue to form strong partnerships
with schools, parents, state and national sporting
associations, and other education sectors.
