The course is designed to be completed as a whole. However, boards can access individual topic modules as needed.
This training is designed to assist new board members by providing a short introductory course. This is appropriate for any board member serving outside NSW. As the NSW Education Act has particular governance and funding compliance requirements, tailored NSW-specific training has been developed that satisfies the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) requirements for board members’ formal induction training. NSW board members should complete that course instead.

Governance Module 12 – Leading Your Association
Christian Education National (CEN) schools are born out of a gathering of people of faith. These groups have established schools which recognise the sovereignty of God in all aspects of individual and organisational life, including the legitimate requirements of governments.
For our schools to thrive, we need Associations of people committed to Christian education and who seek to ensure schools stay true to their vision, mission and values. Our Associations must be strong and vibrant so our school can be too.
Boards play an essential role in building, maintaining and engaging their Associations, and to being accountable to those Associations.
This course will help boards in those important tasks.
