What is Christian Education?

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.

This module is for NSW Boards to help them navigate the not-for-profit requirements of the Education Act 1990. These requirements are additional to the ACNC requirements and are easy to breach. The consequences can be very serious, including loss of all government funding. Similar provisions apply in Victoria and this content will be useful to Victorian Boards.

This module helps boards (and other responsible persons) to ensure compliance in this tricky area.
This course will help boards in the important task of financial governance.
