Dr Geoff Newcombe
The Association of Independent Schools of NSW
"The close and cooperative relationship between the Association of Independent Schools and the NSW Parents' Council, over many years, has frequently been a valuable asset, when representing the needs of families and their children attending independent schools. It has opened doors at all levels of government. I encourage schools and school parent associations to support the Parents Council and the important role it performs."

Milton Cujes
Headmaster Trinity Grammar School (1996-2017) "I view the work of the NSW PC continuing to be of vital importance in the support of our school communities in so many respects. Apart from the legitimate advocacy of important common concerns of member schools in the political sphere and supporting the democratic right of choice within our society (with its associated financial implications for schools and parents). The Association’s promotion, support and acknowledgement of ‘best practice’, in terms of holistic independent school education, directly enhances the well-being of our students and the effectiveness of our dedicated teaching staff." |
Lizzie Windsor
Chair, Shore Parents Association 2018 "As longstanding members of NSW Parents’ Council, Shore Parents’ Association has benefitted from an organisation which fosters good outcomes for independent schools, both internally and in areas of public policy and education. We appreciate that the Council has always promoted the value of dedicated parent and carer volunteers, particularly through their annual Awards for Excellence. Equally invaluable has been the advising and advocacy of the Council, as it keeps abreast of policy directions and decisions affecting the current and future prospects for independent schools. Thanks to NSW Parents’ Council in assisting us as an organisation, to strive for our children’s wellbeing." |
