Catholic Secondary Principals Association in South Australia

Our Identity
The Association of Principals of Catholic Secondary Schools, (APCSS), derives its identity from the collective contribution of leaders of Catholic Secondary School communities within the wider South Australian context.

This identity is forged by our shared understandings of the realities of contemporary Catholic schooling and our mission to evangelise those we serve.

Our Association's charisma emanates from those qualities of mutual acceptance, openness, trust and respect which we aspire to foster in our own communities. We acknowledge there is a need to respond to the prophetic and to serve beyond our immediate needs, recognising a greater good is achieved when we work and plan collaboratively.

We see our Association as assisting our formation both individually and collectively and in so doing, recognise a responsibility to participate in this formation.

We strive to enable our schools to be places of justice which provide a preferential option for the poor.

Our Goals

• To provide a forum for discussion, reflection and evaluation.
• To speak and act collegially for Catholic Secondary Schooling as required.
• To support each other as colleagues and friends.
• To advance Education through active programs and support for Principals and Catholic Secondary Schools in South Australia

Membership
The Association is composed of the Principals of secondary, primary and combined schools, both systemic and non-systemic, in the Archdiocese of Adelaide and the Diocese of Port Pirie. As members, Principals contribute experience and expertise.
