Advocacy and Policy Summit

The inagural AACS Advocacy & Policy Summit was a fantastic event, bringing together Christian School leaders from across the country at a critical time ahead of the federal election.

Attendees had the invaluable opportunity to hear directly from both Government and Opposition representatives about their commitments to the education sector. We were privileged to welcome the contributions of Senator the Hon Deborah O’Neill and Senator the Hon Sarah Henderson and other esteemed speakers, making for a robust and engaging discussion.

The lineup of speakers was outstanding:

Senator the Hon Deborah O'Neill – Labor Senator for NSW
Senator the Hon Sarah Henderson – Shadow Minister for Education
Genevieve Watson –  Assistant Secretary, Department of Education
Max Jeganathan – Public Centre for Christianity
Shaun Rigby – Independent Schools Australia
Hon Susan Carter MLC – NSW Shadow Assistant Attorney General
Hon John Anderson – Former Deputy Prime Minister

Held at NSW Parliament House on Friday, 21 March 2025, the event featured an afternoon of high-level discussions, followed by a networking dinner at Stranger's Restaurant.

Thank you to all who attended and contributed to making this summit such a resounding success!
