The VACPSP and President Michael Gray thank you for your dedication this year.
Wishing everyone a joyful festive season and a bright New Year!

Today we celebrate World Teachers’ Day a moment to recognise the dedication, passion, and impact of teachers across Australia.

We’ve worked with Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools across the state for a number of years to help them plan, design and create learning environments that allow students, staff and the school community to thrive, collectively and individually.

For this reason, we take great pride in supporting the VACPSP (Victorian Association of Catholic Primary School Principals), having partnered with it since 2021. The VACPSP plays a crucial role in representing, supporting, educating and advocating for the interests of not just Catholic Primary School Principals, but staff and students as well.

The rewards of this partnership are many. In addition to supporting the organisation's important work, our partnership gives us the opportunity to meet and build relationships with other providers who also support the work of the Catholic School sector.

Which is why it was wonderful to catch up with Greg from the Catholic Schools Guide, Dean from Kookaburra Audio Visual & Technologies and VACPSP President Michael, at the recent VACPSP Partner Briefing.

Last week President Michael Gray attended the Headspace event, "Dinner with Dan Siegel".
An important event connecting the education and health sectors to discuss best practice when supporting young people's mental health.
