Association of Catholic School Principals Inc. (in NSW and ACT)

The Association of Catholic School Principals NSW & ACT (Inc) (ACSP) is formed from Principals of Catholic Primary and Secondary Schools in New South Wales and the ACT.

WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WE WILL :

• Encourage members to articulate the vision of Catholic Education.
   • Influence on education.
      • Work with other education bodies to challenge and respond to education issues.
         • Provide professional development opportunities.
            • Communicate/interact with ACSP members.
               • Create links with education bodies.

HISTORY OF THE ACSP
The ACSP grew out of attempts during the 1980’s to form an Association that would give Principals representation in the professional and industrial aspects of their role. Br. Phillip Mulhall, Michael Adams, Richard McGuiness and others worked to form C.A.P.O.S., the Catholic Schools Principals’ Association of NSW and ACT in 1982. The members decided to separate the professional and industrial aspects of the Principal’s role and formed the two Associations; the Catholic Schools Principals’ Association of NSW and ACT and the Association of Principals Employed in Catholic Schools (A.P.E.C.S.). In December 1984 the A.P.E.C.S. was registered as a trade union.

The name of the professional Association CSPA was changed in November 1984 to the Council of Association of Principals of Catholic Schools in NSW and ACT. This structure provided for the inclusion of affiliated Diocesan/Regional Associations who were represented at a Delegates Conference.

The first AGM of ACSP, which incorporated the Secondary and Primary Associations in one Association, was held in 1990 with Brother Anthony Robinson as President. The Association incorporated as ACSP Inc. in November 1994.
